South Dakota Megan's Law
Being named after Megan Kanka, Megan's Law was enacted into federal law in 1995. Megan's Law makes it mandatory for every state
put a method in place for notifying the general public when a sexual offender is relocated into their community.
Megan was just seven years old when a previous sex offender that lived accross the street from her family, abducted,
violently rapped, and killed her. It was concluded that had her family or other community members had been aware that a repeated
sexual predator was living in their community, this crime would have been thwarted. On that train of thought, the U.S. Congress
enacted the "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994", aka Megan's Law, without any objections.
Ever since the law has been enacted, South Dakota has strived to protect its public by providing the most up to date information
regarding past sex offenders and their whereabouts. The law has shown that though sexual assaults are still a
occuring in this country, offenses committed by past offenders are on a regression.
