The Department of Corrections in Utah has a website that contains a database for registered sex offenders. The Utah Department of Correction is also bound by law to regularly update the website to make sure viewers and visitors get fresh and accurate information.
However, before entering their website you are strongly advised to read a disclaimer. Although the department is doing its best to ensure that the database is updated regularly, they do not guarantee 100% accuracy on the all the information they have. This is because there are some records that come from the offenders themselves. Even though offenders are required by law to regularly report to the registry if their planning on moving to a different location ahead of time so that the changes can be made, some may falsify some information.
A warning is also included in the website’s disclaimer. Although the public has the right to view the state registry, they cannot use the information to harass registered sex offenders or their families. Failure to comply will result in a criminal charge.
