Under present law, while mandated to be registered as a sex offender, no sexual offender or violent sexual offender, whose victim was a minor, may knowingly reside or conduct an overnight visit at a residence in which a minor resides or is present. However, the offender may reside, conduct an overnight visit, or be alone with a minor if the offender is the parent of the minor, unless: the offender's parental rights have been or are in the process of being terminated as provided by law; any minor or adult child of the offender was a victim of a sexual offense or violent sexual offense committed by the offender; or the offender has been convicted of a sexual offense or violent sexual offense and the following conditions have been satisfied: the victim of the sexual offense or violent sexual offense was a minor 12 years of age or less; and a circuit court, exercising its jurisdiction over civil matters, has found by clear and convincing evidence that the offender presents a danger of substantial harm to the minor. <br /> <br /> This bill adds that the above restrictions will apply to a violent juvenile sexual offender upon the offender reaching 21 years of age if:<br /> <br /> (1) The offender's victim was under 13 years of age at the time of the offense; or<br /> <br /> (2) The offender has committed violent juvenile sexual offenses that occurred before the offender's eighteenth birthday against two or more victims.<br />
