March 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) A New Jersey Assembly Bill recently introduced an amendment to add "possession" of child pornography to the ever-growing list of offenses in which a conviction requires registration as a sex offender under New Jersey's Megan's Law.
New Jersey Megan's Law and Child Pornography
Megan's Law in New Jersey requires individuals convicted of certain sex-related offenses to register with the state as sex offenders. Those required to register must keep law enforcement officials informed of various aspects of their life, including their address and where they work - some convictions also require parole supervision for life.
Registration is required for those convicted of sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault, but also is required for convictions under various New Jersey laws regarding child pornography. For example, registration is currently required under New Jersey's Megan's Law when someone is convicted of:
- Endangering the welfare of a child by engaging in sexual contact with the child that would "impair or debauch the morals of the child;"
- Having a child engage in a sexual act when the person knows the act may be filmed, photographed or reproduced in any manner, including on the Internet;
- Filming or photographing a child in a prohibited sexual act on any device, including a computer;
- Knowingly receiving child pornography for the purpose of selling it; or
- Knowingly selling, publishing, distributing, or otherwise disseminating or offering child pornography through any means, including the Internet.
New Jersey Assembly Bill 295
A recent bill introduced in New Jersey as Assembly Bill 295 now seeks to add simple possession of child pornography to the offenses requiring registration as a sex offender under New Jersey's Megan's Law. Specifically, the proposed law change would require registration if convicted of knowingly possessing any "photograph, film, videotape, computer file or program, video game or any other reproduction or reconstruction which depicts a child engaging in a prohibited sexual act or in the simulation of such an act, including on the Internet."
This new bill, if passed, would require possessors of child pornography to register as sex offenders, even though they may not have had anything to do with the creation, publication, distribution, dissemination or sale of the material. This proposed change illustrates just how serious child pornography charges are in New Jersey. If you have been accused of a crime regarding child pornography, or any other sex related offense requiring registration as a sex offender in New Jersey, contact an experienced Megan's Law attorney in your area today to be advised of your rights and options.

Building lightweight trains
2012-03-29
In their efforts to render cars and trains more economical, manufacturers are trying to find lighter materials to replace those currently used. But there is a problem: Lighter materials tend not to be as tough as steel or aluminum, so they cannot simply be used in place of these metals. Rather, it is a question of manufacturers deciding which components can really afford to have weight shaved off and how to integrate them into the overall systems.

Dangerous Drugs and Medical Devices Marketed to Women, Hurting Women
2012-03-29
Every day we hear about dangerous drugs and medical devices. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) routinely reports on investigations, warnings, injuries and recalls. Unfortunately much of the press surrounding these drugs and devices fails to highlight the fact that a growing number of these products are injuring one specific group, women.
Drugs like bisphosphonates, birth control medications as well as devices like transvaginal mesh and metal-on-metal hip implants are created for and/or marketed toward women. All of these products have had ongoing reports of ...
Study finds circle hooks lower catch rate for offshore anglers
2012-03-29
Anglers are required to use circle hooks in some fishing tournaments because they are less likely to cause lethal injuries in billfish, such as marlin. However, research from North Carolina State University shows that broadening circle hook requirements could adversely impact charter and recreational fishing, since they make it more difficult to catch non-billfish.
"We wanted to know whether circle hooks are effective as conventional J hooks when angling for non-billfish – such as yellowfin tuna – in North Carolina waters," says Paul Rudershausen, a research assistant ...
Federal Court Begins the Selection Process for Initial Avandia Suits

Is Tort Reform the Key to Reining in Medical Costs?
2012-03-29
In an effort to rein in the growing costs of health care, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are backing a bill known as the HEALTH Act. The legislation seeks to bring down health care costs by capping "non-economic" damages -- these are damages awarded for injuries that are not easily quantifiable, such as pain and suffering -- to $250,000 in medical malpractice cases. This type of measure is commonly referred to as "tort reform."
The theory is that large awards in medical malpractice cases are driving up the cost of health care. And, ...
University of Utah Study Reveals New Method for Treating Tylenol Overdose
2012-03-29
Acetaminophen, more commonly known as Tylenol, is a powerful analgesic often taken to lessen the effects of headaches, fevers, sore throats and other painful conditions. In addition to Tylenol, acetaminophen can be found in prescription pain relievers such as Vicodin and Percocet and over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as Nyquil.
Though acetaminophen can ease the symptoms of chronic pain or illness, it has also been proven to be an extremely dangerous drug. Many people tend to take more painkiller than is recommended by doctors, pharmacists or medicine labels. For ...
How Bicyclists can be Safe on Chicago Streets
2012-03-29
Almost as a rite of spring, bicyclists will soon begin emerging on the streets of Chicago to signal the end of another long winter in the Windy City. Bicyclists are regularly seen on city streets, as many commute to work or enjoy what the city has to offer. However, they are sometimes seen as being out of place. Some motorists view bicyclists as pedestrians on two wheels since they are not powerful enough to be motorcycles, but in fact, bicyclists generally have to follow the same rules that cars do. This confusion has led to a number of bicycle accidents in Chicago - often ...
