ABSTRACT
This descriptive sample examines 29 formerly enlisted military veteran sex offenders and the Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act (SORNA). The article discusses SORNA, implementation and impact on the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Veterans Administration, corrections, law enforcement, treatment, community reentry efforts, and the needs of the growing subpopulation of military veteran sex offenders. As an aggregate, the sample data highlight multiple psychosocial, risk factors, gaps and participant sexual, psychiatric, substance abuse, partner violence, and employment and housing problems. The findings encourage more research regarding military veteran sex offenders, comprehensive collaboration, education, prevention, training, legislation, policy, and community notifications that are critical for the safeguard of the victim, witnesses, and their families.
