Irondequoit Sex Offender List

The purpose of this list is to promote public protection from the potential risks posed by individuals who have committed sex offenses in the past.  Under current law, we can list only offenders that are registered as living in the Town of Irondequoit.  

Information is provided in compliance with legislation which is commonly referred to as "Megan's Law".  The law permits police agencies to post community advisory bulletins, listing the name, address and descriptions of the offenders who MAY pose a risk to the community. This is NOT a "Wanted Bulletin" and is intended for ADVISORY PURPOSES ONLY.  

The Irondequoit Police Department updates this information regularly to try to assure that it is complete and accurate; however, this information can change quickly. You are cautioned that information provided on this site may not reflect the current residence, status, or other information regarding an offender. 

If you believe that any of the information found on these records is in error, please contact the Irondequoit Police Department.

Anyone who uses this information to commit a criminal act against another person is subject to criminal prosecution.  

OFFENDERS' RISK DETERMINATION

Megan's Law requires anyone on parole or probation or imprisoned for a sex offense on or after January 21, 1996 to register with local law enforcement agencies and the Division of Criminal Justice Services.  In addition, sex offenders sentenced to probation, local jail, or state prison after that date must register upon their return to the community.

As a general rule, the sentencing court will make the risk assessment either at the time of sentence (in probation cases) or when the offender is released from custody (in jail or prison cases).   

Offenders are assigned one of three levels of risk, based on an offender’s risk of re-offending:

Level 1* (low risk of repeat offense)
Level 2 (moderate risk of repeat offense)
Level 3 (high risk of repeat offense and a threat to public safety exists)

Megan's Law states that the amount of information concerning a sex offender that can be disseminated depends upon the offender's level of risk.

WORD OF CAUTION

Not all sex offenders are covered under this legislation.  It is true that Megan's Law is a powerful tool for making communities safer.  However, it only provides information on a small population of all potential sex offenders living in a community.  Although a significant percentage of those individuals convicted of a sex crime since 1996 are required to register with local law enforcement, not all sex offenders are obligated to do so.  Additionally, many sex crimes (especially crimes against children) go unreported.  Of those reported cases, many can not be prosecuted for a variety of reasons.  If you are a parent, you should always know and feel comfortable with any person who has unsupervised access to your child.  Never assume that because someone you know is not on a list of known sex offenders that there is nothing to worry about.  Trust your instincts!  For more information on how to protect your child from sexual predators click here

*Please note that on July 17, 2006, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York modified a stay issued in the continuing Doe v. Pataki litigation and determined that the new law regarding expanded community notification, which was effective on June 23, 2006, cannot be applied to members of the Doe v. Pataki class.  Accordingly, while the modified stay is in effect, level 2 sex offenders who are members of the Doe v. Pataki class cannot be included in the Subdirectory, additional information regarding level 1 offenders in the Doe v. Pataki class will not be available on the New York State Division of Criminal Justice (DCJS) site and law enforcement cannot perform community notification on level 1 offenders in the Doe v. Pataki class. .  For further information on sexual offenders in New York State contact DCJS at http://www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/nsor/index.htm or at
