It's our understanding that the number of prosecutions leading to conviction is very low, meaning that under CEPA in recent years I saw a number of around 20. I can't pinpoint the year, but that gives a sense of the number.
One would expect more than that. They may be settling out, or there may be compromises, but ultimately, part of the reason we're advocating a database is that so you can gain access to that information and know what exactly is happening with these files and how many are going to conviction. That's part of the accountability in ensuring that government agencies and public servants are enforcing the laws on the books.
