Montana Sex Offenders Face Severe Penalties

The state of Montana imposes severe penalties for a variety of crimes it categorizes as sex offenses. The punishments for those convicted of a sex offense range from fines or probation to life sentences, and any sex offense conviction can result in jail or prison time.

Moreover, convicted sex offenders must register with Montana’s Sexual or Violent Offender Registry, which makes personal identification info – including the offender’s name, appearance, conviction and home address – publicly available via a simple internet search.

Montana’s Sexual or Violent Offender Registry includes those convicted of the following crimes, or of their equivalents as defined by another state, a tribal government, or the federal government:

  • Aggravated kidnapping
  • Aggravated promotion of prostitution of a child
  • Incest, if the victim is under 18 years old and the offender is three or more years older than the victim, or if the victim is 12 years old or younger and the victim is at least 18 years old
  • Indecent exposure, if the victim is under 18 years old and the offender is at least 18 years old, or on the third or subsequent offense
  • Kidnapping
  • Promotion of prostitution of a child
  • Sexual abuse of children
  • Sexual assault
  • Sexual intercourse without consent
  • Solicitation of a child prostitute
  • Unlawful restraint, if the victim is less than 18 years old and the offender is not a parent of the victim

Failing to maintain an accurate registration with this database can result in substantial fines and further imprisonment.
