What does “high risk sex offender out of compliance” actually mean? Is he a multiple rapist on the run?

Nurse, He’d been charged and convicted of molesting a child in the past. Once convicted of that, for the rest of his life he has to register and check in annually or more often (if it was a violent attack then he must check in every 90 days.)
