There are 33 individuals listed on the protection of minors register, with one of them having been sentenced twice by the court, Justice Minister Owen Bonnici told parliament tonight.
He was replying to a parliamentary question put by PN MP Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici.
The register protects children from convicted criminals and is regulated by the Protection of Minors Registration Act that came into force in 2012. Those listed on the register are not necessarily paedophiles, but also individuals convicted of a crime against children.
