There were 141 registered sex offenders living in Decatur County as of the week ending July 19, according to the Georgia Sex Offenders Registry.
The Registry shows that five of these sex offenders are sexual predators. In Georgia, a sexual predator is an individual who is determined by the Sexual Offender Registration Review Board to be at risk of perpetrating any future dangerous sexual offense.
The Registry also shows that 34 of these sex offenders are currently incarcerated.
Sex offenders in Georgia remain on the Sexual Offender Registry for life unless removed by a court order or other legal means. Any individual who fails to register when required “shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 30 years,” according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Under Georgia law, sex offenders must register with the sheriff in their county of residence, employment, and schooling. They must update their information within 10 days of any change and notify authorities when moving in or out of state.
The number of registered sex offenders in the U.S. has climbed to approximately 795,000 as of August 2024—an increase of nearly 43,000 individuals (about 6%) since 2019. As of that same month, Georgia’s registry includes around 24,730 individuals.
