Getting Removed from the Sex Offender Registry

Are people in the neighborhood cold or distant towards you? Don’t let this unfair treatment and suffering continue. Take control of your life. You should not be judged by your past, and we can help!
If you are required to register as a sex offender in Colorado, you may have the option to petition the Colorado criminal courts to remove that requirement and allow you to go back to a more normal life.

Naturally it makes sense that if you have successfully completed your sentence and you are no longer a threat to reoffend and your sex crimes case is closed, then you may have the opportunity to remove your name from the sex offender registry.
