Louisiana Sex Offender Registration Laws

Sex offender registration in Louisiana is governed by RS 15:540 through RS 15:549. These statutes set out who must register, how long they must register, and what information they must provide. The law applies to anyone convicted of a qualifying sex offense in Louisiana or who moves to Louisiana after a conviction in another state.

Louisiana uses a three-tier system. Tier I offenders register for 15 years and must check in once a year. Tier II offenders register for 25 years and check in every six months. Tier III offenders, which includes those convicted of the most serious offenses, must register for life and check in every 90 days. The tier level is set by the court at sentencing and is based on the offense type and the offender's prior record.

Under RS 15:542, every registered offender must report within 3 business days any time they move, change jobs, or enroll in or leave a school. This includes changes to phone numbers, vehicle registration, and online identifiers like email addresses or social media accounts. Failure to update this information is a felony under Louisiana law.

The public has a right to access registry information under RS 15:541 and the state's public records statutes. However, state law also warns that using registry information to threaten, intimidate, or harass a registrant or their family members may result in criminal prosecution or civil liability.

What the Acadia Parish Registry Includes

The Acadia Parish iCrimeWatch registry lists the following information for each registered sex offender:

• Full legal name and any known aliases
• Current residential address
• Employer name and address (if applicable)
• School enrollment (if applicable)
• Offense description and conviction date
• Photo and physical description
• Vehicle information

Not all of this data appears on every record. If an offender is homeless, a general location may be listed instead of a street address. Some offense details may be limited depending on the age of the conviction or the jurisdiction where it occurred. If a record seems incomplete, you can call the sex offender unit at 337-788-8728 for more detail.

The registry is updated when offenders check in or report changes. However, there can be a short lag between when a change is reported and when it shows online. If you need the most current status on a specific person, calling the sheriff's office directly is the safest approach.

The Louisiana State Police registry page provides information on the state phone line at 1-800-858-0551, available between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM CDT. You can also write to: Louisiana State Police, Sex Offender Registry, P.O. Box 66614, Box A-6, Baton Rouge, LA 70896.
