zoosermom, great site and great advice!

WA State keeps its own offender registry:

[WASPC: Washington State Sex Offender Information Center](http://ml.waspc.org/Accept.aspx?ReturnUrl=/index.aspx)

I checked, and there is no one right next to us (duh, we have more horses than people over here!), but a few blocks away there is a “peeping tom” (level II) and a child molester (that’s a level III offense!). Great… I suspect GF/BF consensual sex turned rape will be a level I (leas likely to re-offend) and would not be listed. That’s what mini probaly meant.

Level III: “These offenders pose a potential high risk to the community and are a threat to re-offend if provided the opportunity. Most have prior sex crime convictions as well as other criminal convictions. Their lifestyles and choices place them in this classification. Some have predatory characteristics and may seek out victims. They may have refused or failed to complete approved treatment programs.”

Level II: “Level II offenders generally present a moderate risk to the community and they have a higher likelihood of re-offending than Level I offenders. They may be considered a Level II offender because of the nature of their previous crime(s). For some Level II offenders, lifestyle (drugs and alcohol abuse, other criminal activity) may influence their potential to re-offend. For others it may be that they have refused to participate or failed to complete approved treatment programs. Each trait does not necessarily apply to every Level II offender. For example, there are offenders classified Level II only because of the nature of their crime(s) while the other factors such as lifestyle and failure to complete treatment do not apply.”

Level I: “These offenders present the lowest possible risk to the community and their likelihood to re-offend is considered minimal. They normally have not exhibited predatory type characteristics and most have successfully participated or are participating in approved treatment programs. Many are first time offenders.”
