Effective Dates for Each Type of “Reportable Conviction” 

For each offense that can give rise to a “reportable conviction” (whether a North Carolina 

conviction, an out-of-state conviction, or a federal conviction) there is a corresponding effective 

date that determines if an offender is subject to register as an offender. These dates have been 

established through various Session Laws enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly. 

Appendix 1 contains several tables which show the effective dates for each type of “reportable 

conviction.” 

 

Table 1: Offenses against minors 

Table 2: Sexually violent offenses 

Table 3: Aiding and abetting, attempt, conspiracy, or solicitation of offense against a 

minor or sexually violent offense 

Table 4: Convictions from other states 

Table 5: Federal convictions 

Table 6: Secretly peeping

Chapter 1: Registration Requirements for Adults and Certain Juveniles Under Article 27A, Part 2 and Part 3 

 

Offenders Subject to Additional Registration Requirements under Part 3 

 

Part 3 of Article 27A applies to anyone who 

must register as a sex offender

 and is (a) 

convicted of an aggravated offense, (b) convicted of a repeat offense (i.e.,  is a recidivist), 

and/or (c) determined by a court to be a sexually violent predator. 

 

Under G.S. § 14-208.6, an “aggravated offense” is defined as a criminal offense which 

includes either of the following: 

(a)

 

Engaging in a sexual act involving vaginal, anal, or oral penetration with a victim 

of any age through the use of force or the threat of serious violence. 

(b) 

Engaging in a sexual act involving vaginal, anal, or oral penetration with a victim 

who is less than 12 years old. 

   

Part 3 registration is required for anyone convicted of an aggravated offense, so long as 

the offense was committed on or after October 1, 2001. 

 

Under G.S. § 14-208.6, “recidivist” is defined as “a person who has a prior conviction 

for an offense that is described in G.S. § 14-208.6(4).” Part 3 registration is required if an 

offender is convicted for an offense committed on or after October 1, 2001 and has at least one 

prior reportable conviction, irrespective of the date. 

 

Under G.S. § 14-208.6, a “sexually violent predator” is defined as a person who has 

been convicted of a “sexually violent offense” (see above) and “who suffers from a mental 

abnormality or personality disorder that makes the person likely to engage in sexually violent 

offenses directed at strangers or at a person with whom a relationship has been established or 

promoted for the primary purpose of victimization.” A court order during criminal sentencing is 

required before an offender can be classified as a “sexually violent predator.” This sentencing 

procedure is governed by G.S. § 14-208.20. 

 

 

The predominate distinction between aggravated offenders, recidivists, and predators and 

other registered offenders is that aggravated offenders, recidivists and predators must register for 

their lifetime and they must verify their current residence every 90 days.
