Sex Offender Information
The Cincinnati State Campus Police Department, in accordance with the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, provides the link to the State of Ohio Attorney General’s Electronic Sex Offender Registration and Notification (eSORN) website in an effort to afford the College community the opportunity to be aware of the condition of their environment concerning known sex offenders. Since Cincinnati State serves the tri-state area, links to sex offender registries in Kentucky and Indiana are also provided.
The intent of this information is public safety and awareness and information is made available to alert possible victims of potential danger, not to punish or embarrass offenders. This information is not to be used in any other fashion or for any other purpose.
