Megan’s Law Information In 1995, a convicted child molester was arrested for the rape and murder of 7-year-old Megan Kanka in a New Jersey suburb. The offender lived across the street from the Kanka residence, however, the police department was prohibited from disclosing the presence of this child molester. The law did not allow the release of sex offender information to the public. The law was changed to permit the release of this information to the public. On May 8, 1996, President Clinton signed the law, dubbed “Megan’s Law,” in remembrance of Megan Kanka. The Governor signed California’s version of Megan’s Law into effect on September 25, 1996. This Law was implemented to allow potential victims to protect themselves and to allow parents to protect their children from sexual predators. You may obtain information on sexual offenders living in the area by contacting the: Hayward Police Department Phone: (510) 293-7023 Records are available for review on Wednesdays from 9:00 am – 11:30 am and 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm; appointment required.
