Sex Offender Accused Of Failing To Register Seaside Address

TOMS RIVER, NJ — A Seaside Heights man has been charged with failing to register as a sex offender in the borough, the Ocean County prosecutor's office said Monday.

Robert Hudson, 40, of Seaside Heights, was arrested March 20 by Seaside Heights detectives on a charge of failing to register his address in the borough, Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.

"Since 1994, Megan’s Law requires certain offenders to register with their local police departments whenever they move and/or change their residential address. Failure to comply with this obligation is a third degree crime," Billhimer said.

In this instance, Hudson moved from his last known address without registering or notifying any law enforcement agencies. He is being held in the Ocean County Jail.

There was no information publicly accessible about Hudson's sexual offense conviction in either the New Jersey registry or in the state's offender database.

"My office, in conjunction with local police departments, will be vigilant in making sure individuals required to register under Megan’s Law are in compliance with their obligations," Billhimer said.

Anyone with relevant information regarding this case or others violating Megan’s Law requirements should contact Detective John Argento of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, Ext. 2903.
