Can You Be Removed from Megan's Law in New Jersey?
Interviewer: Hi, I'm speaking this afternoon with Laurie Gerhardt, an attorney with Helmer, Conley & Kasselman who focuses her practice on representing individuals charged with or convicted of sex crimes and Megan's Law matters. Laurie, one common question clients ask is: is it ever possible to come off of Megan's Law?
Laurie Gerhardt: That's a great question. In New Jersey, there are two primary paths to file an application for termination and removal from Megan's Law registration requirements:
- Adult Applicants: An adult who has remained offense-free for at least 15 years following conviction or release from custody can file a formal motion with the court to be removed from the registry.
- Juvenile Applicants: A juvenile offender whose offense occurred prior to their 14th birthday can apply for termination of registration requirements once they reach 18 years of age.
Navigating the court application process requires proving to the Superior Court that you are no longer a threat to public safety. Our legal team guides clients through gathering evaluations, filing motions, and advocating in court to secure relief.
