The state police registry didn't have one that I noticed (I was getting ready for work when I found the info). Probably with some more digging I could find out; plus I don't know if NJ considers two seperate convictions seperately or, by lumping them together, raises his level(which would be my guess, but I would need to find out). When I spoke to the preschool director, she made no distinction, saying only that they were 'supposed to be notified' if 'any' registered offender moves close by.
My own curiosity asks me why a preschool director doesn't make periodic checks herself...
Edit: He is listed as a tier2-Moderate. According to the NJSP site:
If the risk level is moderate (Tier 2), in addition to law enforcement agencies, schools, licensed day care centers, summer camps, and registered community organizations are notified of sex offenders that they are likely to encounter because of the possibility that pedophiles and sexual predators will be drawn to these places.
It was up to this person to notify our local police of his residence and register with them, who, in turn, notify the above listed. This wasn't done. His failure to register is considered a 4th degree crime and law enforcement is under no compulsion to notify anyone if he or anyone who fails to register gets charged.
