On July 29, 1994, seven year old Megan Kanka was raped and murdered by Jesse Timmendequas, a neighbor in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. Timmendequas was a registered sex offender when he moved across the street from Megan and her family. The Kanka family was unaware their neighbor was a threat to their safety.

Timmendequas lured Megan into his house by offering to show her a puppy and subsequently raped her and strangled her to death. He moved her body to his truck, placing the body in a wooden toy chest and dumping it in nearby Mercer County Park. The next day, he confessed to investigators and led police to the site.

The court sentenced Timmendequas to death, and the sentence was upheld by the New Jersey Supreme Court on appeal.

Timmendequas remained on New Jersey's Death Row until December 17, 2007, when the New Jersey Legislature abolished the state's death penalty. This ban resulted in Timmendequas's sentence being commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

In the wake of the tragedy, the Kankas sought to have local communities warned about sex offenders in the area. All states now have a form of Megan's Law.

Private Citizens have had access to records on sex offenders registered with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law since 2004. Previously, the information was available only by personally visiting police stations and sheriff offices. The law was given final passage by the Legislature on August 24, 2004 and signed by the Governor on September 24, 2004.

California has required sex offenders to register with their local law enforcement agencies since 1947. California's Megan's Law provides the public with certain information on the whereabouts of sex offenders so that members of our local communities may protect themselves and their children. The law is not intended to punish the registrant and specifically prohibits using the information to harass or commit any crime against a registrant (Pen. Code § 290.46.).

Megans Law

Megan's Law is named after seven-year-old Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl who was raped and killed by a known registered sex offender who had moved across the street from the family without their knowledge. In the wake of the tragedy, the Kankas sought to have local communities warned about sex offenders in the area. All states now have a form of Megan's Law.

Legislative Background

The U.S. Congress has passed several laws that require states to implement sex offender and crimes against children registries: the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act, and Megan's Law. On March 5, 2003, the United States Supreme Court ruled that information about potential predators may be publicly posted on the Internet.

The Problem

While the contents of state sex offender registries are public records and you have the right to see them, access is often difficult. Often, you must know the name of the individual for which you are looking and, in many states, you must go to your local police station and complete an information request form. In some states, there are fees and search limits. Many states now maintain web sites, but these often have limited functionality.

The Solution

Kids Live Safe is an innovative organization focused on protecting kids from Sexual Predators. Since 2009, Kids Live Safe has provided families with an extremely powerful suite of top-rated, web-based child protection tools to help you and your family be aware, be alert, and be safe. Kids Live Safe is not a government entity.
