IN THE MATTER OF REGISTRANT V.L.
A-0816-14T1
V.L., a registered sex offender, appeals an order reclassifying his risk of re-offense, previously low or Tier 1, to moderate or Tier 2. He contends the trial court erred in scoring the Registrant Risk Assessment Scale (RRAS) by including a recent non-sex offense, burglary, in RRAS criterion seven – length of time since last offense. V.L. argues that criterion seven involves only sex offenses. Our review of the Att'y Gen. Guidelines for Law Enforcement for the Implementation of Sex Offender Registration and Cmty. Notification Laws (June 1998, rev'd Feb. 2007) leads us to agree. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new tier hearing.
