What is Megan’s Law in New Jersey?
Megan’s Law (N.J.S.A. 2C:7-1 et seq.) requires lifetime registration for most sex offenses. The Sex Offender Risk Assessment (SORA) determines your tier level. Failure to register is a separate fourth-degree crime.
How long does a sex crime case take in Camden County?

What happens at a SORA hearing?
At sentencing, the court conducts a Sex Offender Risk Assessment hearing. A psychologist evaluates you and assigns a tier (1, 2, or 3). This determines your registration requirements and community notification level.
Can I get a public defender for a sex crime case?
Yes, if you qualify financially. However, sex crime cases often require experienced witnesses and extensive investigation. Private counsel like Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. provides more resources for forensic and psychological defense.
