There were two more registered sex offenders living in Tift County as of the second quarter of 2024 than in the previous quarter, according to the Georgia Sex Offenders Registry.

Overall, 119 registered sex offenders were living in the county at the time.

The Registry shows that five of these sex offenders are sexual predators. In Georgia, a sexual predator is an individual who is determined by the Sexual Offender Registration Review Board to be at risk of perpetrating any future dangerous sexual offense.

The Registry also shows that 26 of these sex offenders are currently incarcerated.

Sex offenders in Georgia remain on the Sexual Offender Registry for life unless removed by a court order or other legal means. Any individual who fails to register when required shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 30 years, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

If a sex offender moves to another county in the state of Georgia or another state in the US, they are required to register with the Sheriff in their new county or state of residence.

SafeHome.org, a security think tank, found the number of sex offenders in the US increases by roughly 32,000 a year.

Below is a breakdown of the 119 registered sex offenders in Tift County as of the second quarter of 2024, including their current status and the crime they committed.
