Can our neighborhood association send a flyer out to residents with information on a sex offender who lives in our neighborhood?
Even though the information on the sex offender registry is open to the public, it is not recommended that flyers be disseminated or posted identifying a single offender. SC Code 23-3-510 precludes anyone from committing a criminal offense using sex offender registry information. Disseminating a flyer or targeting a single offender could be considered harassment.
