Sex Offender Probation

In Colorado, if you’re convicted of a sex offense, you’ll likely be placed on highly supervised probation governed by the Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB). This isn’t ordinary probation—these rules are some of the strictest in the country and often feel overwhelming.

Sex offender probation typically involves:

• Strict travel restrictions, often requiring advanced approval to leave even your county.

• Limits on contact with family members, including restrictions around children or even entire family gatherings.

• Mandatory sex offender treatment, with assignments and “homework” you’re required to complete.

• Compliance polygraphs and full sexual history polygraphs, which must be handled carefully.

• Frequent, detailed communication requirements with your probation officer, where misunderstandings can lead to allegations of violations.

Successfully navigating sex offender probation in Colorado requires constant attention, self-discipline, and clear understanding of the rules. The conditions imposed by the Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) are strict, and even unintentional violations can lead to serious consequences—including revocation of probation and incarceration.

Here are the most important things you can do to stay compliant:

1. Know Your Restrictions

• Read your probation terms carefully—and review them with your attorney.

• Understand your travel limits, curfews, and residency restrictions.

• Don’t assume you know the rules—ask before you act.

Probation will also restrict and monitor all of your romantic relationships so make sure you understand those rules and requirements before beginning a relationship.

2. Communicate Clearly and Often with Your Probation Officer

• Be honest, respectful, and consistent.

• Never guess or make assumptions—when in doubt, ask your attorney before saying anything that could be misunderstood.

• Keep all appointments and document every interaction.

3. Treat Polygraphs Seriously

• Compliance and full-disclosure polygraphs are a standard part of sex offender probation in Colorado.

• Consult your attorney before the exam to make sure you understand what to expect.

• Be truthful—but don’t overshare or say something that can be misinterpreted out of context.

4. Take Treatment Seriously

• Complete all assignments and “homework” from your therapist on time.

• Don’t be passive—engage actively in sessions, but don’t say things just to please the provider.

• If you’re confused or struggling with a question or topic, call Attorney Ted McClintock to get guidance on how to handle it correctly.

5. Avoid All Unauthorized Contact with Minors

• Do not attend family events, school functions, or public activities involving children unless you have written, approved permission.

• Even casual or indirect contact can violate your probation terms.

6. Stay Off Restricted Technology and Social Media

• Do not access the internet or social media without explicit permission.

• If you’re allowed limited access, follow all monitoring rules—and never delete history or use unapproved devices.

7. Use Your Attorney as a Trusted Advisor

• When you’re unsure about a rule, polygraph, treatment session, or interaction—call Attorney Ted McClintock.

• We act as your sounding board to keep you on the safest possible path and help prevent violations before they happen.
