Kentucky Sex Offender

Bear in mind that not all sex offenders register their information. You may get search results that only show last known addresses of some sex offenders. Some of the information may also be incomplete such as a listing of the block where the offender’s house is located but not the exact address.  

Bail and Bondsman

Once a person is charged with a crime, he may be allowed to post bail. This means that he can wait for his trial in the comfort of his own home with the understanding that he will show up at all his scheduled court appearances. For certain crimes, the court will require the accused to pledge money or property as an added guarantee that the defendant will show up as required. If he doesn’t, he loses the money or property that he lodged with the court.

An accused may not be able to come up with the money to post bail In such a case, a bondsman can be hired to help. For a fee that is normally around 10% of the bail amount, the bondsman can act as a surety. This means that he will be the one who will pay the court the entire bail amount if the accused does not keep his word. The fee is nonrefundable no matter what the outcome of the case may be.

In Kentucky, commercial bail bonding is illegal. Ky. Stat. § 431.510 (outlawing commercial bail bond industry); see Stephens v. Bonding Assoc. of Kentucky, 538 S.W.2d 580 (Ky 1976) (upholding statute). A bonds agent cannot arrest a fugitive who has fled to Kentucky without acquiring a warrant first. Ky. Rev. Stat. § 440.270.
