This may occur because an individual was convicted in another state, or because the law under which an individual was convicted has been repealed.

CHAPTER 19 Incest

CHAPTER 21 Kidnapping

CHAPTER 35 Sexual Psychopaths

CHAPTER 41 Sexual Abuse:

Subchapter I: General Provisions
Subchapter II: Sex Offenses
