NJ A4396

Adds sexual assault and criminal sexual contact crimes against minors to the list of offenses triggering a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention when a prosecutor files a detention motion

Includes the crime of endangering the welfare of a child under N.J.S.2C:24-4 as an offense subject to the rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention

Defendants charged with these crimes must demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that they should be released; if they fail to rebut the presumption, the court may order detention pending trial

Amends New Jersey's 2014 Bail Reform Law (P.L.2014, c.31) to expand the categories of crimes with this presumption beyond murder and crimes carrying life imprisonment terms

Even if a defendant successfully rebuts the presumption, prosecutors retain the opportunity to establish other grounds for pretrial detention
