History

Historical Context

In 1994 Congress passed the Jacob Wetterling Act, requiring state sex-offender registries kept secret from the public. After 7-year-old Megan Kanka was murdered in July 1994, New Jersey enacted a public-notification law 89 days later, and on May 17 1996 President Bill Clinton signed the federal Megan’s Law amendment mandating community notification nationwide. That framework underpins today’s enforcement of high-profile cases such as Josh Duggar’s 151-month sentence.
