What is tier 1 sex offender?

Tier 1 sex offenders are considered to be the lowest risk offenders and generally have the least severe criminal histories. They are typically required to register as sex offenders for a certain period of time, which varies by state. Tier 1 offenders may include individuals convicted of crimes such as indecent exposure, possession of child pornography, or unlawful sexual contact with a minor. These offenders are usually not considered to pose a high risk of reoffending and are subject to less community notification and monitoring than higher tier offenders. However, they are still required to follow certain restrictions and guidelines to ensure public safety.
