The California Department of Justice (DOJ) is required by law to maintain and continually update a website detailing information about sex offenders. DOJ classifies the offenders based on language in the California Penal Code (Section 290).
We maintain local supervision over sex registrants living within Newport Beach. This information is then disseminated through DOJ's Megan’s Law website. The purpose of the Megan's Law website is to assist the members of the public in protecting themselves or children who may be at risk.
Some offenders move frequently and do not always register their new locations in a timely manner. Although efforts are made to keep the information depicted on the site up-to-date, please be aware that some of the information may not be current.
It is illegal to use information obtained through the Megan's Law website to commit a crime against a registered sex offender or to engage in discrimination or harassment against a registered sex offender.
If you have specific questions about the website or laws related to sex registrants, please call the Special Victims Unit supervisor at 949-644-3775.
