There were eight new registered sex offenders living in Morgan County as of the first quarter of 2024, compared to the previous quarter, according to the Illinois Police Sex Offender Registry.

The Registry showed that, in total, 34 sexual offenders were living in Morgan County, compared to 33 the quarter before. Over these three months, seven offenders left Morgan County and eight moved into the area.

All eight of the offenders who moved to Morgan County during this period were sexual predators.

Sexual predators and child murderers remain on the registry for the rest of their lives. Sexually violent people are no longer listed 10 years after their conviction.

The offenders moving into Morgan County may have been recently convicted or moved from other cities in the US.

Nationally, the study found over 795,000 registered sex offenders in the U.S. as of August 2024 — an increase of approximately 8,000 compared to 2023.
