Utah Megan's Law
Being named after Megan Kanka, Megan's Law was passed into federal law in 1995. Megan's Law makes it mandatory for every state
have a system in place for informing local residents when a sexual offender is located in their community.
Megan was just seven years old when a previously convicted sexual predator that was living accross the street from her family, abducted,
rapped, and murdered her. It was decided that had her family or other residents in the communtiy had known that a previous
sexual offender was housed amongst them, this heinous act would have been thwarted. With those thoughts, the U.S. Congress
passed the "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994", aka Megan's Law, without any objections.
Since the law has been enacted, Utah has made it a point to protect its supplying the most recent information
relevant to previous sex offenders and their whereabouts. The law has confirmed that while sexual assaults are still a
occuring in the U.S., offenses committed by past offenders are on a regression.
