TOMS RIVER – A 55-year-old man has been arrested for not registering as a sex offender after moving to a different township, officials said.
Mark Brayman was charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender pursuant to Megan’s Law.
According to Megan’s Law, certain offenders must register and notify their local police departments whenever they move and/or change their residential address or place of employment.
