U.S. to Unveil Web Site on Sex Offenders

An AP newswire report on Yahoo! News:

State-by-state information on sex offenders will be available on a new Internet site run by the federal government, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced Friday.

Participation by states is voluntary, and the
Justice Department said it hopes to have the site up and running within two months.

The announcement was being made to coincide with
National Missing Children's Day.

The site won't provide any information not already made available on the Internet by 48 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. But it will be designed to allow someone to do a national search to determine whether an individual who has been convicted in one state has moved to another.
