Under penal law in the state of New York, certain sex crime convictions require mandatory registration as a sex offender. Anyone convicted for committing or for an attempt to commit such an offense, who is incarcerated, under parole, or probation for one or more of the registerable sex offenses on or after January 21, 1996 is subject to registration with the Division of Criminal Justice Services. Failure to register is a criminal offense.
Sex crimes which require sex offender registration include:
- Luring a child
- Sexual misconduct
- Forcible touching
- Sexual abuse
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Aggravated sexual abuse
- Sexual conduct against a child
- Facilitating a sexual offense with a controlled substance
- Sexually motivated felony
- Predatory sexual assault
- Unlawful imprisonment
- Kidnapping
- Patronizing a prostitute

- Sex trafficking
- Disseminating indecent material to minors
- Unlawful surveillance
- Incest
- Use of a child in a sexual performance
- Possessing or promoting a sexual performance by a child

Sex offender registration is available to the public. Therefore, future employers, landlords, educational institutions, licensing agencies, neighbors, and others can access this information, which can seriously impact the life and future prospects of anyone required to register.
