An offender is in violation of the law if they fail to register regardless of whether they were informed of their duty to register in the State of Nebraska.

There are a few questions you would first need to find out. Was he imprisoned in a state, federal, or County prison? If it was the latter, he would be on probation (state & federal jail would mean parole). If a person was charged with a sex offense, he should be registered, which you will be able to find out if you visit your local sheriff's department. Depending on the state that you live in, your state may have their registry on the Internet.

If the offender is convicted of one of the above listed crimes whether it is a misdemeanor or felony, they must register.

Sex offenders must register their address within five days of moving. Under the Iowa Code, "residence" is defined as "the place where a person sleeps, which may include more than one location, and may be mobile or transitory." Currently, they remain on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry for ten years unless they commit another sex crime. If they commit another crime, they are on the Registry for life.

Offenders only have restrictions if they are under supervision (probation or parole). These are conditions set by the court or parole board and may restrict where they can live, work, and who they may have contact with. These conditions may vary by each individual offender.

If the offender is under supervision their residence must be approved by the supervising officer. If they are not under supervision there are no restrictions as to where they can live.

Most offenders have to register once a year and this is around their birth date. If an offender has two convictions of a violent offense they have to register every 90 days.

Iowa will start enforcing a package of laws designed to protect children from pedophiles. The package, which Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack (D) termed “the nation's toughest against sex offenders”, will, in part, improve notification of crime victims when an offender is released from prison, among other measures.

Sex offenders are very much in the news these days, and nobody seems to know what to do about them. One suggestion has been to incarcerate them for life. Let's look into it.
