<p>The Pennsylvania State Police are asking for the public&#8217;s help in locating &#8220;absconded&#8221;, or wanted, sexual offenders throughout the state.</p><p>Some of the offenders are from Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.</p><p>Pennsylvania&#8217;s Megan&#8217;s Law requires individuals convicted of a sexually violent offense to register with the Pennsylvania State Police and to update and verify their information periodically at an approved registration site. Offenders that fail to register, update or verify their information as required are considered to be non-compliant with the Megan&#8217;s Law statute.</p><p>That non-compliance is a felony offense.</p><p>Offenders in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties include:</p><p>&#8226; Lloyd George, 69, of Pine Run road in Hanover Township, Luzerne County</p><p>&#8226; Harry Klein, 51, of Scranton, Lackawanna County</p><p>&#8226; Chad White, 34, St. Francis Cabrini Avenue, Scranton, Lackawanna County</p><p>A list of these absconded offenders can be found on the Pennsylvania State Police <a href="http://www.pameganslaw.state.pa.us" target="_blank">Megan&#8217;s Law website</a> by clicking on &#8220;View all Non-Compliant Offenders&#8221; and selecting &#8220;absconded&#8221; from the drop down menu.</p><p>Users can view the offenders and even submit a tip to help locate an offender. Anyone with a tip can also call the Megan&#8217;s Law Section at 1-866-771-3170.</p><p>As of December 2, 2015, Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release that there were 145 offenders with an active arrest warrant for failing to comply with the registration requirements. The news release also indicated that Pennsylvania&#8217;s rate of sexual offender non-compliance or absconded offenders is 1.83%, which is well below the national average.</p><style>
