The US Justice Department's Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and Tracking (SMART) created the National Sex Offender Public Website.
It also provides a link to website pages of each US State and Territory.
The American Samoa sex offender registry tracks and registers sex offenders who live, attend school or employed in American Samoa, is in the Samoan language and available to the public.
Our correspondent said the registry made it clear that "registering information should never be used to threaten, intimidate or harass another".
The registry comes under the Attorney General's Office.
