Sex Offender Risk Levels in Irondequoit

Every sex offender in Irondequoit gets a risk level from a judge after a court hearing. The judge uses a scoring system that weighs factors like use of force, victim age, number of victims, substance involvement, and criminal history. The resulting score places the offender into one of three levels.

Level 1 is low risk. These offenders register for 20 years unless they have a special designation. Address info is limited to ZIP code only. Level 2 means moderate risk and the full address is public. Level 3 is high risk. Full address is public and these offenders must visit the police department every 90 days to verify their address in person.

A judge can designate a sex offender as a sexual predator, sexually violent offender, or predicate sex offender. Any designation means lifetime registration, no matter the base risk level. All Level 2 and Level 3 offenders register for life too. A Level 2 offender without a designation who has been on the registry for at least 30 years can petition the court for relief under Correction Law Section 168-o.

How SORA Applies in Irondequoit

The Sex Offender Registration Act, known as SORA, governs sex offender registration in Irondequoit and throughout New York. It is codified in Correction Law Article 6-C, Section 168 et seq. SORA has been in effect since January 21, 1996.

SORA requires sex offenders convicted of certain offenses to register with the state. This covers New York convictions, equivalent out-of-state convictions, and federal or military convictions. In Irondequoit, the Monroe County Court handles SORA risk level hearings. The Monroe County District Attorney makes the risk level recommendation to the judge before each hearing.

For offenders leaving jail or prison, the Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders is notified at least 120 days before release. The Board sends a recommendation to the court 60 days out. The court sets the risk level at least 30 days before the person gets out. Probation cases are faster. The court registers the offender at sentencing and holds a hearing at least 45 days later.

Community Notification in Irondequoit

Irondequoit residents can sign up for free sex offender alerts through the NY-ALERT system. This service sends notifications by email, text, fax, or phone call whenever a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into or out of a location you choose. You can monitor up to three locations by county, ZIP code, municipality, or specific address.

When a Level 3 offender moves into Irondequoit, local police must notify entities that serve vulnerable populations. Schools, daycare centers, summer camps, places of worship, nursing homes, and community centers all receive notice. For Level 2 offenders, the notification is more targeted and does not reach the general public.

Sex Offender Internet Rules

All sex offenders in Irondequoit must report their internet accounts, email addresses, and screen names to DCJS. This comes from the Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act of 2008. Changes must be reported within 10 days. Failure to report is a felony.

DCJS can share the data with social networking sites that have members under 18. Sex offenders convicted of crimes against minors or those who used the internet in their offense face mandatory internet restrictions while on probation or parole. All Level 3 offenders under supervision also face these restrictions.

Where Sex Offenders Can Live in Irondequoit

SORA does not create statewide residency buffer zones for sex offenders. Irondequoit cannot add its own restrictions. The New York Court of Appeals ruled in People v. Diack that local governments lack authority to impose sex offender residency rules because the state occupies that field of law.

The Sexual Assault Reform Act bars certain offenders from knowingly entering school grounds or living within 1,000 feet of a school when the victim was under 18 or the offender is Level 3. Parole or probation officers can set case-specific conditions, but those are not part of any blanket town rule.
