How can I report a convicted sex offender?

Convicted sex offenders are not allowed to use Facebook. If you've encountered an account that may belong to a convicted sex offender, please report this to us.

Please provide one of the following with your report:

  • A link to a listing in a national sex offender registry
  • A link to an online news article
  • A link to a court document
  • Documentation verifying the report attached to the sex offender report form

If you aren't able to include this with your report, we recommend that you ask a local law enforcement representative to contact us so we can take action on your report.

Once we're able to verify someone's status as a sex offender, we immediately disable their account and remove their all information associated with it from Facebook.
