Try the following words on google or yahoo, "rape, incest, child molestation, pedophile, statutory rape," for starters.

probably the best way to break it down would be in the level of sex offender each person found guilty is assigned.
there are three levels and the sex offender registry is called SORB and frequently there are added hearings where people contest the sex offender status they have been assigned.
i'm not exactly sure how it works, meaning which is more serious 1 or 3, but if you are the highest level you are most likely a repeat offender of a serious crime or a habitual offender of a less serious offense.
at the highest level, you have to register as a sex offender and your picture and information is generally known to those who live around you. there are web sites that you can visit where you can see the offenders who live around you.
the next level down you have to register and your information could be obtained from the police on request.
on the next level down you have to register but your information is only known to the police.
i believe you have to register for 20 years.
laws vary from state to state - in maine for instance, anyone convicted of any sex offense is known to everyone - in massachusetts this is not the case.

Sex offenses are based on 'levels'. Try visiting your states sex offender databases. Try this site: http://searchenginez.com/sex_offenders_usa.html It contains links to each state. Once there, you should be able to determine how each state specifically defines the different levels of sex offenses.

There are many and of varying degrees. They vary from state to state so consult you local state statutes. Most can be found online.

In the European system you differ between assault and rape. When someone is sexually attacked, but not penetrated (for example, in incest cases), it would fall under assault. You could try those two words when searching.
