Currently, 55 sex offenders are registered between St. Thomas and St. John, and 42 sex offenders’ are registered on St. Croix. *
Sex offenders are obligated to reg- ister in whatever community they reside in under federal law and terri- torial law, so as to make communi- ties aware of where offenders live.
The department encouraged com- munity members to visit usvinsopw.
gov to access the registry and view the list of sex offenders in the Virgin Islands.
The department also asked that anyone knowing the whereabouts of an unregistered sex offender to con- tact it at 774-5666 on St. Thomas or 773-0295 on St. Croix and pro- vide information to one of the Sex Offender Registry coordinators.
