According to statistics from the United States Department of Justice, more than half of rape/sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim’s home.

About 75 percent of victims know their attacker and 45 percent of victims are under 12 years old.

Pennsylvania State Police maintain the registry and update information regularly, but information can change quickly. Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law.

If you believe a registered sex offender who is under Active Community Supervision is participating in Halloween activities, you can report the information to the SAFE tip phone hotline at 1-877-234-0085. That line is answered Monday through Friday between 7:45 AM and 4:30 PM.

These offenders are not wanted by police, and using this information to harass, discriminate against, or harm these individuals is against the law.
