Sex Offender Registration and Failure to Register in Illinois

Illinois law requires persons convicted of any sex crimes in Illinois or another state to register with local law enforcement if they live or temporarily reside at a location for three or more days. Registration is part of the punishment and part of the lifelong supervision, and you must regularly update your information for the registry when you move or cross any state lines. As a sex offender, you may be subject to certain restrictions, such as not living or working within 500 feet of schools, parks, playgrounds, or day care centers. Any violations of such restrictions will lead to your arrest.

Included among the long list of sexual felony and misdemeanor crimes for which you are required to register are:

• Indecent solicitation of a child.
• Sexual exploitation of a child.
• Soliciting or patronizing a juvenile prostitute.
• Keeping a place of juvenile prostitution.
• Juvenile pimping.
• Child pornography and aggravated child pornography.
• Predatory, criminal, and aggravated sexual assault.
• Ritualized abuse of a child.
• Public indecency for a third or subsequent conviction.
• Sexual misconduct with a person with a disability.
