Case Details
Our client pleaded to a sex offense years ago. Upon his imminent release from prison his family contacted our office. The Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders recommended a Level 3 risk level. The prosecutor recommended a Level 2 risk level. We pointed out numerous errors in the risk assessment instrument, as well as the prosecution’s failure to carry its burden of proof on several risk factors, and the court found our client to be a Level 1 risk, the lowest risk level available in the state of New York. The result is that our client will not be listed publicly on the sex offender lookup website and will have less stringent reporting requirements.
Additional Notes
Client received Level 1 risk level despite Board (Level 3) and DA (Level 2) objections, resulting in no public listing and less stringent reporting.
