When he was a teenager, defendant CK perpetrated an aggravated sexual assault on his younger brother. The abuse was not revealed until CK was 23. He pled guilty, received a three-year probationary term and was required to comply with relevant Megan’s Law provisions.
Between the time of the abuse and its revelation, CK obtained an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling. He ultimately became employed by a nonprofit agency for mentally disabled adults. Over time, he turned down many career opportunities for fear that a background check would reveal his sex offender status. It is now 20 years since CK’s unlawful conduct and 14 years since his adjudication.
