Megan's Law is named after a 7-year-old Hamilton Township, New Jersey girl named Megan Nicole Kanka. On July 29, 1994, she was lured into her neighbor's home with the promise of seeing a puppy. Instead, Megan was brutally raped and murdered by a two-time convicted sex offender who had been convicted in 1981 of an attack on a 5-year-old child and an attempted sexual assault on a 7-year-old.

Californians seeking the names, photos and addresses of sex offenders living in their neighborhoods can now find that information with just a few mouse clicks on a computer.

The state's long-awaited Megan's Law Web site went up on the Internet on Wednesday. State Attorney General Bill Lockyer called it "a remarkable tool for families to protect themselves" from sexual predators.

The site -- meganslaw.ca.gov -- includes information on 63,000 of the state's estimated 110,000 sex offenders who register with local law enforcement, officials said. Home addresses are listed for 33,500 of the most serious offenders.
