Eliminates presumption of pretrial release for sex offenses committed against minor.

This bill eliminates the automatic presumption that defendants charged with sex offenses against minors (victims under 18) can be released before trial. Instead, courts must now evaluate each case to determine if release would reasonably ensure the defendant's court appearance and protect community safety. The law specifically removes the "presumption of pretrial release" for these offenses, requiring judges to apply stricter standards rather than assuming release is appropriate. It directly affects defendants facing such charges in New Jersey, shifting the burden to the court to justify release conditions. The change applies to all sex offenses against minors defined under state law (C.2C:7-2), not just specific cases.
