Court Decision: SORA Modification Granted, Level Reduced From 3 to 1

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

SORA Modification Granted, Level Reduced From 3 to 1

Our client, who had been the victim of sexual violence, sexually offended as a teenager. After pleading guilty and serving years in prison, he was released in 2003 and adjudicated a Level 3 offender. In the nearly 20 years since his release, he continuously participated in sex offender treatment and had stable housing, and he was currently in a long-term relationship and had the support of family and friends. The judge granted our SORA modification petition and reduced our client’s risk level from 3 to 1, which resulted in his removal from the on-line registry.
