Man charged in sexual assault released on his own recognizance under NJ Bail Reform
Pallisades Park, NJ – According to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office press release, Min Sung Jeon was charged with 2 counts of 2nd degree sexual assault – only later to be released and FREE TO GO thanks to NJ Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.
The release is yet another example of the thousands of unaccountable and FREE TO GO pretrial releases of those criminally charged under the NJ Bail Reform Act.
