Multnomah County 2018 Halloween Sex Offender Safety List

PORTLAND, OR — Before your kids go out trick-or-treating on Halloween, take inventory of who is living in your neighborhood.

Multnomah County has 188 registered sex offenders listed on the Oregon Sex Offender Registration list, all of whom are classified as Level 3 Offenders, which the state defines as someone "who presents the highest risk of reoffending and requires the widest range of notification." Thirteen individuals are considered "predators" by the state.

While the Oregon sex offender registry contains more than 28,000 entrants, is does not include individuals who are no longer required by law to register as a sex offender, or those who are still under state-mandated supervision. Additionally, according to the state's website, to be included on the registry database the following criteria must also be met:

1.) While under supervision the person was determined to be a predatory sex offender as provided in ORS 181.585AND notification of that under ORS 181.586 was made to someone other than the person's family. 2.) The person's last primary supervising authority has notified the Department of State Police that the person was under a high level of supervision at the termination of the person's most recent period of supervision.

The vast majority of offenders who reside in Multnomah County live in Portland proper, though several are listed as homeless. Additionally, the Multnomah County registration list includes offenders who live in Gresham, Wood Village, Troutdale, and Fairview.
