The “pretrial intervention’’ deal that wife beater Ray Rice got was offered to fewer than 1 percent of all domestic-assault violators in New Jersey, ESPN reported Saturday.

The program allows suspects to avoid convictions if they complete court-ordered requirements.

The sports network quotes a state Web site as saying it’s offered only in criminal cases that do not involve violence.

ESPN’s data cover 2010-2013. In 2013, the state charged 3,508 people with assault in domestic-violence cases. Only 30 got the deal.

A spokesman for the prosecutor’s office told ESPN “any first-time offender in similar circumstances’’ would be treated the same as Rice.
