S.D. v. M.J.R. A-6107-08T2

S.D. v. M.J.R.

A-6107-08T2 07-23-10

In this action pursuant to the Prevention of Domestic

Violence Act (PDVA), we held that the Free Exercise Clause of

the First Amendment does not require a Family Part judge to

exempt defendant, a practicing Muslim, from a finding that he

committed the predicate acts of sexual assault and criminal

sexual contact and thus violated the PDVA. We also found that

the judge was mistaken in failing to enter a final restraining

order in the matter.
