It's been a little more than one year since California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 83, known as "Jessica's Law," a measure that strengthens sex offender laws
California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation can now evaluate incarcerated sex offenders who fit the profile of a sexually violent predator after one felony sex offense has been committed.
District attorneys now have the ability to file new petitions every two years to demonstrate that the offender still poses a danger to society.
Sexually violent predators are now required to serve their full parole in the event they are released from a mental facility.
Sex offenders who lure minors online for sexual purposes, posses child pornography or administer date-rape drugs face increased penalties.
Law enforcement officers are allowed to act as decoys to engage and capture Internet predators.
To date, 2,000 of the 3,000 paroled sex offenders are wearing global positioning satellite ankle bracelets.
