Greene County Sex Offender Registry Laws

Indiana's sex offender registry runs under IC 11-8-8, known as Zachary's Law. This law has been in effect since January 1, 2003. It was named for Zachary Snider of Cloverdale, Indiana, a child who was killed by a registered sex offender. Zachary's Law requires all 92 Indiana county sheriffs to maintain a public registry and contribute data to the statewide system at no cost to the public.

The offenses that trigger registration are listed in IC 11-8-8-4.5. These include rape, child molesting, child exploitation, possession of child pornography, criminal deviate conduct, sexual misconduct with a minor, and voyeurism involving minors. Qualifying out-of-state convictions and certain violent crimes also require registration under Indiana law. Greene County courts handle prosecutions under these statutes for offenses committed within the county.

The 72-hour registration window is set by IC 11-8-8-7. Failure to register is a Level 6 felony. A second offense is a Level 5 felony, carrying one to six years in prison. County sheriffs must keep the registry available online under IC 36-2-13-5.5.

Registration Periods in Greene County

Most sex offenders in Greene County are on the registry for 10 years. The period starts when the person is released from incarceration, or when probation or parole ends, whichever is later. After 10 years without new violations or charges, the offender may petition a court to be removed from the registry. Courts consider the full criminal history and current risk before ruling on the petition.

Sexually violent predators and people convicted of crimes against victims under age 12 must register for life with no petition option. SVPs also verify their registration every 90 days rather than once a year. All other registrants check in annually. Each check-in requires appearing in person at the Greene County Sheriff's Department in Bloomfield to confirm address, employment, vehicle, and online account information and have a new photo taken.

Any change in home address, employer, vehicle, or online accounts must be reported within 72 hours of the change. Greene County registrants who move to another county or state must notify the Greene County Sheriff and register with the new jurisdiction within the same window. Failure to report a change is a separate criminal offense from failure to register.

Residency Restrictions in Greene County

Indiana law prohibits certain sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school, public park, or youth program center. This applies to offenders against children and covers all of Greene County. Violating this restriction is a Level 6 felony, independent of any other charge. Offenders must also avoid living within one mile of their victim's home address.

Before moving to any new address in Bloomfield or anywhere else in Greene County, registered offenders should confirm with the sheriff's department that the address is in compliance.
