CAMPUS SEX CRIMES PREVENTION ACT INFORMATION

The Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, enacted on October 28, 2000, went into effect October 28, 2002.  The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where the law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered sexual offenders may be obtained.  It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a State to provide notice, as required by State law, of each institution of higher education in that State at which the person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student.

Sexual Offenders are required to notify the Sheriff of the County in which they will reside per the Ohio Revised Code, Section 2950.04.  The Mahoning County Sheriff’s Department informs the Youngstown State University Police Department of sexual offenders that are registered in Mahoning County.  To view a complete listing of sexual offenders in Mahoning County visit the Mahoning County Sheriff's Department website and click on sexual offenders.
