Sexual predators and offenders are in violation of similar offenses, but there are several key differences between them.
The title of "sexual predator" applies to anyone convicted of a sexual offense committed from October 1, 1993 forward.
The term "sexual offender" applies to anyone who has committed a sexual offense on any date and is being released on or after October 1, 1997 from the sanctions imposed on him for his crime. A sanction could be anything from a fine or probation to parole or community control.
Unless a file is confidential, the FDLE and the Sheriff or Police Chief are obligated to give out any information available on sexual predators to anyone who asks. It is mandatory to notify a community if any sexual predators reside or move to the neighborhood; notification is optional for sexual offenders.
