DISCLAIMER
The
legislature has found that protection of the public
from sex offenders and child predators is of
paramount governmental interest.
One
purpose for the sex offender registry is to aid
local law enforcement in the protection of their
communities, conduct investigations, and quickly
apprehend offenders who commit sex offenses and
crimes against victims who are minors. The
legislature has authorized the release of necessary
and relevant information to the public to further
the governmental interests of public safety and
public scrutiny of the criminal and mental health
systems.
Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office is making certain
information contained in the Sex Offender Registry
available to the public via the Internet. Release of

The Lafourche
Parish Sheriff’s Office has not considered or
assessed any offender's risk of committing another
offense prior to inclusion in the Sex Offender
Registry. Inclusion in the Sex Offender Registry is
based solely on the offender's duty to register by
virtue of his conviction for an enumerated sex
offense or a criminal offense against a victim who
is a minor as outlined in R.S. 15:541 and 542.
Positive identification of a person believed to be a
registered sex offender or child predator cannot be
established except by fingerprints.
Use of
the information in the Registry to commit a criminal
act may subject the user to criminal prosecution and
penalties and may further hamper the purpose of the
Registry and this site.
