Sex crimes
Three sources, none of which names a person: rape offenses reported to DCJS (annual, since 1990), sex offenses by category reported to the FBI (monthly, by agency), and the number of adults on the state Sex Offender Registry with a Cortland County address. An offense is a report to police, not a conviction.
