> not actually convicted of doing what is alleged

Do you mean "not actually guilty even though they were found guilty" or do we put people on sex offender registries without due process?

I was wrong about that. I thought there were cases where accusation + not (yet) being proved innocent was enough to get on the list. But a look at wikipedia shows that some kind of conviction or guilty plea is always involved.

But there is this about the UK: "and unconvicted people thought to be at risk of offending" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_offender_registry#United_K...
