By law, sex offenders are required to register with authorities. Even before they do, however, their information appears in the sex offender registry, which is public record, meaning you can get information about the sex offenders in any specific area nationwide.
In Del Rey, which shares its zip code wits parts of Culver City and Mar Vista, there are 28 sex offenders in the 90066 area code and 25 in the 90230 are code, according to the California Megan's Law website.
In Marina del Rey there are 10 sex offenders and there are four in Playa del Rey.
Two websites to access to find this information are CrimeReports.com and the California Attorney General's Megan's Law website.
Fortunately, even in places outside local police departments' jurisdictions, the websites have mapped the addresses, names and photos of sex offenders in our country.
The criminals are marked on the CrimeReports.com map with red triangles. Orange triangles symbolize two sex offenders living at one address. Click on the triangles to see details on the offenders.
