Some sex offenders could be off list

Sex offenders who stay on the law's good side may be able to stay off the newly expanded Vermont sex offender registry. The new online registry went live last week, with hundreds of offenders on view. But a committee in the legislature just approved a plan to let offenders off the online registry provided they were convicted years ago, and are obeying conditions of release.
The state sex offender review committee would then have the final say.
