Paul Timmendequas pleaded not guilty to assaulting a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old. His brother, Jesse Timmendequas, 37, is on death row in New Jersey for raping and murdering 7-year-old Megan Kanka in 1994. The crime prompted the first law to notify residents when convicted sex offenders move nearby.
