Federal judge blocks Megan's Law notification in Newark case
A federal judge barred authorities from telling neighbors that a parolee, identified as E.B., a convicted child molester and murderer, lives nearby despite state Megan's Law requirements. The ruling cites irreparable harm from public disclosure and follows a prior unconstitutional finding by Judge Nicholas Politan. The state plans to appeal Megan's Law, named for Megan Kanka, who was raped and killed by a sex offender living across the street.
