In the Matter of Registrant R.S.

Summary

The Supreme Court held that a Megan’s Law registrant facing internet publication is entitled to an evidentiary hearing when a genuine issue of material fact exists regarding whether his conduct was repetitive and compulsive, and that while the State may rely on a prior psychological report prepared for sentencing, the Megan’s Law judge must make independent findings based on clear and convincing evidence. The Court vacated the Appellate Division’s judgment on that issue and remanded for further proceedings.
