New Jersey S921 establishes a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for defendants charged with child sexual abuse and child endangerment.
New Jersey S921 amends the state's Bail Reform Law to establish a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for defendants charged with crimes involving child sexual abuse and child endangerment. This presumption applies when a prosecutor files a motion for pretrial detention. If the presumption is not rebutted, the court may order the defendant's detention pending trial. The bill also outlines procedures for pretrial detention hearings, including the right to counsel and the presentation of evidence. The changes in the law take effect immediately upon enactment.
