ATLANTIC CITY — A Cape May County town’s ordinance restricting where sex offenders can live was struck down Friday by a judge who found it was too broad, violated the state constitution and conflicted with the intent of Megan’s Law.
The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed last year by Steven Elwell, a former teacher who claimed the ordinance passed in August 2005 by Lower Township effectively banned him, his wife and their two young daughters from the community.
He noted that the law’s 500-foot “pedophile-free” zone around schools, parks, day-care facilities and school bus stops encompassed almost the entire town.
