Court Decision: Downward Departure to Level 1 Granted Due to Numerous Mitigating Factors

Supreme Court, Kings County: People v. [redacted]

Downward Departure to Level 1 Granted Due to Numerous Mitigating Factors

Following a federal sex crime conviction, our client scored as a presumptive Level 2 moderate risk of re-offense. In our pre-hearing filing with the court and at the SORA hearing, we argued that our client’s exceptional response to sex offender treatment, family support, stable housing, and steady employment all merited a downward departure to Level 1. The hearing court agreed, adjudicating our client a Level 1 low risk of re-offense.
