Megan’s Law parole violators sentenced in Ocean County

Two Megan's Law offenders who admitted neglecting terms of their paroles are sentenced for their October 26 guilty pleas in Ocean County Superior Court.

Dominick Attino, 48, whose most recent address was in Little Egg Harbor, was given three years for failing to adhere to community supervision for life, according to the office of Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato.

A source in the Prosecutor's Office said that the matter surfaced in the aftermath of his drug arrest in Stafford in late July.

Police who searched his car on a warrant reportedly found heroin, suboxone, roxicet, and several thousand dollars in cash inside, and more narcotics at his house.

The sentence runs concurrently with an unrelated term he began serving at South Woods for a drug conviction reached about a month earlier.

Once released, Attino will be requied to undergo lifetime parole supervision as well as community supervision, in compliance with new components of applicable state law..

Kevin M. Hofer, 38, whose last known address was in Jackson, was sentenced to three years for his October 26 guilty plea to a charge of failing to register, pursuant to Megan's Law.

He was apprehended June 5 in Jackson and is currently in the Ocean County Jail in Toms River.

The sentence is one year less than the one sought by Assistant Ocean County Prosecutor Ehsan F. Chowdhry, based on Hofer's record, authorities said.
