How later courts describe this case

• holding that New Jersey's Megan's Law, which established sexual offender registration and community notification provisions, was nonpunitive and did not violate the double jeopardy or ex post facto clauses
• noting that the “act of discrimination by the employer in such a case is not the harassment, but rather the inappropriate response to the charges of harassment”
• describing sex offender registration and community notification components of New Jersey’s Megan’s Law scheme
• action implemented by employer held to be “prompt and appropriate” where “[gjiven the circumstances before it, there was little else, if anything it could do”
• New Jersey's law, which provides a tier process of imposing restrictions, was found not to violate the Ex Post Facto Clause
