Colorado Sex Offender Registration Laws

Those convicted of sex crimes are usually required to register a sex offender for five, ten, or twenty years as long as no violence was involved in the crime, but if you are convicted of a violent sexual crime you will be required to register a sex offender for the rest of your life.

The term “sex crime” covers a wide range of criminal activity, including but not limited to:

• Sexual contact involving minors
• Rape
• Use of force or coercion for sexual gain
• Familial sexual contact
• Exploiting a position of trust for sexual gain
• Exploitation, trafficking, or prostitution of a child
• Prostitution
• Using the internet to commit a sex crime

Facing charges of a sex crime will likely be the one of the most traumatizing and stressful experiences of your life. The possibility of public attention for a mere accusation can ruin your reputation, even before your case goes to trial. A conviction comes with a harsh penalty beyond prison time and fines: the requirement to register a sex offender. Your image, your address, and the crime will be available to anyone with a digital device who clicks on your name.

Minimum Sentence for Sex Offenders in Colorado

Sex offender registration duration depends on the crime that was committed, the following is a list of sex crime offenses and how long a convicted individual must submit to the registry:

• Felony sexual assault, sexually violent predators, and/or at least two convictions of sexual offenses come with a life time registration requirement.
• You can petition for removal from the registry after 20 years for class 1, 2, & 3 felonies.
• You can petition for removal from the registry after 10 years for class 4, 5, & 6 felonies.
• You can petition for removal from the registry after 10 years for class 1 misdemeanors that include sexual assault or sexual contact.
• You can petition for removal from the registry after 5 years for other misdemeanors.

Failure to register as a sex offender increases the number of years on the registry by 1, but if the case was dismissed you may be able to petition immediately following the end of the trial.
