In any case not otherwise covered under Section 8.3, except as authorized pursuant to subsection 8.4.5,where a defendant has been released for an offense involving sexual assault charged by a complaint-warrant and there is probable cause to believe that (1) the defendant has violated an order issued pursuant to the Sexual Assault Survivor Protection Act, N.J.S.A. 2C:14- 13 to -21, and (2) has committed or threatened to commit an act of sexual contact or sexual penetration against any person protected by the restraining order or otherwise caused or threatened to cause bodily injury to any person protected by the restraining order, the prosecutor shall presumptively file a motion seeking revocation of release pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A: 162-24.”

The importance of the initial decision to release on a summons or a complaint-warrant is highlighted by these presumptions. None of the presumptions apply in the case of a new allegation after a summons, whereas all of them apply in the case of a new allegation after a complaint-warrant.
