Alabama's sex offender registry affects where a defendant my live, who they may live with, where they can be employed, and even where you can loiter.  You can be forced out of your home, neighborhood, family, job, and more.

Failure to abide by the Alabama sex offender registration laws will result in at least a class c felony.  A class c felony is punishable from one to ten years in prison for each charge.  In addition, adding additional felonies on top of a previous sex offense can likely lead to even longer sentences.
