Megan's Law / Three Tiers
Under New Jersey's "Megan's Law," a convicted sex offender must register under one of three tiers, depending on the underlying offense. The tiers determine how many restrictions will be placed on convicted offenders and who will be notified when registered sex offenders relocate:
- Tier one: Only the police are notified
- Tier two: Both police and schools are notified (other parties such as daycare providers and churches who request to be informed will also be notified)
- Tier three: Police, schools and communities are notified. The third tier requires contact with the sex offender on a monthly basis.
There are many factors the court considers when determining which tier a sex offender will be registered under, including the type of offense, prior criminal history and a psychological evaluation. This is where the attorneys of Kelly & Nolan can make a big difference in Megan's Law cases: We can help you seek the least restrictive outcome possible under the law.
