SORA Modification Granted, Reducing Level 3 to Level 1
Following a 1989 offense, our client was subject to the reporting requirements of the Sex Offender Registration Act since its inception in 1996. After serving his sentence, he was at liberty for over 26 years with no re-offense. While in the community, he maintained sobriety and built a solid career as an electrician, drawing upon vocational training he completed in prison. Recognizing his clear rehabilitation, the Court granted a reduction to Level 1. Now a disabled man in his 60s, our client is relieved from registration and can seek admission into an assisted living home without being rejected due to being on the online registry.
