Supreme Court of New Jersey

Imo Registrant A.D. Imo Registrant J.B. Imo Registrant C.m(076345) (Burlington County and Statewide)

February 7, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the term “offense” in N.J.S.A. 2C:7-2(f) is defined by the Code of Criminal Justice as a crime, disorderly persons offense, or petty disorderly persons offense, not limited to a sex offense. Accordingly, the registrants’ applications for termination were properly denied because of intervening convictions that satisfy the statutory bar.
