According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, as of 2021, there are over 900,000 registered sex offenders in the United States. However, it's important to note that this number can change over time as new individuals are added or removed from the registry.

Laws regarding sex offenders living with minors vary by state. However, in Georgia, it is generally not allowed for a convicted sex offender to live with a minor under the age of 16, even if they are off probation or parole. Sex offenders are subject to strict guidelines and restrictions to protect the safety and well-being of potential victims.

Most areas have posted lists on the internet, for convicted offenders; unfortunately it is the unconvicted and untracked offenders you really should be worried about. Do a search for your location with the words sex offender list included. You will find listings for every state.

Yes, if you are a sexual offender of any type, and are on any type of probation you have to register no matter where you live. If you where sentenced to register for a certain amount of years you must abide by that, no matter where you live. Although if you choose not too, the court can restrict your probation or put you in jail for non compliance.

It is not stated what the "harmful material" was but if there was no sexual conact between you and the minor, I doubt it, unless you fall under some special provision of your particular state's law.

Because people have been brainwashed by the media and politicians into believing that there are gangs of pedophiles roaming the streets in search of 5 year old children to rape. The truth is that most children, who are molested, are molested by family members, or close family friends, and being a registered sex offender does not by default mean you are a child molester or even a danger. People are stupid, they believe what they are told instead of checking the facts.

There is a great deal of outright lies regarding registered sex offenders. The most common lie is that someone convicted of a sex offense is at a very high risk to re offend. The reality is that the majority will not, but it serves the goals of the media and politicians to push it.

In short, people are afraid of sex offenders because they have been told to be by dishonest people who have their own agendas.

The idea that the those who commit criminal offenses should be "taught" or "conformed" into standard society. In other words, offenders should be rehabilitated and released back out into society.

Generally speaking an investigation would not show on a background check unless it resulted in arrest.

A background check for sensitive employment or government/police employment will probably show the investigation whether or not you were arrested.

Legally, no.

Doesn't mean it's probably not awkward or that it's a good idea ... but technically based off what you've described it's not sexual harassment where you'd be sued.
