A pedophile is a person who over at least a 6 month period has recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (age 13 years or younger). The fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The person is at least age 16 years and at least 5 years older than the child or children. Not to include an individual in late adolescence involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with a 12 or 13 year old (straight or gay). Individuals with pedophilia generally report an attraction to children of a particular age range. Some individuals prefer males, others prefer females, and some are aroused by both males and females. Pedophila involving female victims is reported more than pedophilia involving male victims.

To be accurate, pedophilia is the crime of sexually molesting a
child of the opposite sex. Pederasty, on the other hand, is the crime
of molesting a child of the same sex. The term pedophile is used as a
general term to describe a person who molests any child, and the term
pedophilia, however, is commonly used to refer to child sexual abuse
in general. The homosexual who molests a child of the same sex,
therefore, technically is guilty of pederasty, rather than pedophilia
- yet both are child sexual abuse.

The U.S. Congress passed three laws that require States to monitor sex offenders; the Wetterling Registration Act, the Lynchner Tracking and Identification Act and Megans Law.
On March 5, 2003, The Supreme Court ruled that information about registered sex offenders may be posted on the Internet.
The Problem:
Information on registered sex offenders is available and you have the right to access it. The problem is that locating that information can be very difficult.
In most instances, you have to know the name of the individual you are looking for, and in many States you must go to your police station and complete a request form. Additionally, some states have a fee and limit individuals to viewing only two registered sex offender names at a time.
The Solution:
The Registered Sex Offenders List offered by National Alert Registry. Now in the privacy of your home, you can view information about all registered sex offenders in your area, including how close they reside to your own home and your children, all displayed on a convenient map of your neighborhood.
Our free service provides the number of registered offenders in your neighborhood. If you wish, you can then purchase the National Alert Registry service, which includes a detailed map of your neighborhood and the locations and backgrounds or the registered sex offenders.
