Welcome

Welcome to the PARSOL Statewide Wiki! The PARSOL team has worked to create a framework of resources for Pennsylvanians with sexual harm convictions and affected by the "Pennsylvania Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act" (PA SORNA), sometimes (inaccurately) referred to as "PA Megan's Law."

Support Groups

PA Fearless is open to Pennsylvanians required to register under SORNA, affected by PA's sex offense policies, their families and close friends. Treatment providers, law enforcement, government supervisors (parole, pretrial, probation), therapists, etc. are not permitted without approval by the PA Fearless Lead Facilitator.

Pennsylvania Fearless - meets the second Sunday of the month at 4 p.m. Eastern Time.

NARSOL Pennsylvania State Information Wiki

The Pennsylvania page on NARSOL’s State Registry Information Wiki offers a concise overview of the Commonwealth’s registration laws, explaining who must register, reporting frequency, and registration duration based on offense date, tier level, and special classifications such as Sexually Violent Predator status. It links directly to relevant statutes and official resources, serving as a practical reference for impacted individuals, advocates, and policymakers while noting that the information is volunteer-maintained and not legal advice.
