The New Jersey Supreme Court set out a “framework of procedures and considerations” to be applied when a prosecutor seeks to withhold the address of a victim of sexual assault from discovery which weighed the conflicting rights of a victim and the accused.

According to the Nov. 21 opinion, a 23-year-old woman was walking home from a North Bergen restaurant where she worked as a waitress just after midnight on October 25, 2019. A man grabbed her, held a box cutter to her neck, and told her to be quiet or he would kill her. The man forced her into a nearby cemetery, removed all of her clothing, and sexually assaulted her. He fled the scene when he heard police sirens nearby, stealing her phone and purse.
