State of New Jersey v. Isaac A. Young, Defendant-Respondent.

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment vacating Isaac A. Young’s conviction, adopting the lower court’s construction of N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.10a and -8.10b and applying the rule of lenity to resolve statutory ambiguity. The Court noted that any expansion of criminal liability for unauthorized access to confidential child‑abuse records is a legislative matter.
