Nebraska Sex Offenders Law took effect in January 1, 1997. The law protects the residents of Nebraska by alerting them on sex offenders living in their community. Sex offenders convicted in Nebraska must register with the state’s Police Patrol.
Duration of registration depends on the nature of sex crime committed by the offender. Offenders jailed for less than one year will have to register for 15 years. Crimes with longer jail terms have 25 years of registration. Sex offenders with prior conviction before another sentence will register for life. Also, lifetime registrants from another state or country will also have to register for life in Nebraska.
Duration of registration starts counting from the first year an offender registers. For instance, an offender required to register for 25 years but skips the first 2 years will have the duration active from the year he registers.
Sex offenders in Nebraska must notify the local police of any changes to the registered information within 3 business days.
Persons convicted for a sex crime in another state but wishes to work, attend school, or move to Nebraska must notify the state’s police patrol. Failure report to the state’s police within 3 business days has severe consequences.
Nebraska Sex Offender Registry is in charge of maintaining information on sex offenders in the state. The state’s police patrol is in charge of updating the registry./p>
The sentencing court may exempt offenders convicted of child enticement, false imprisonment of a minor, or kidnapping.

Most people think sexual predators are scary-looking and creepy. But three out of four adolescents who were sexually assaulted were victimized by someone they knew well.
Most of the time, sexual predators look like regular people. Children and parents need to know and to understand that anyone can be a sexual predator, no matter how "normal" they appear.
It isn't always easy to build a trusting relationship with your child. Trying to get your children to share what is going on in their lives can be difficult.
Building an open and welcoming environment from the beginning stages of a child's life is essential. Children are less intimidated and more likely to discuss issues and topics in their lives with an open and supportive environment.
Getting your kids to share serves as a building block for times when your child needs to discuss pressing issues like sex and sexual abuse.
