Defending You Against All Child-Related Charges
New Jersey criminal law includes a variety of crimes against children. Any accusation of exposing children to sexual activity can be charged as a crime. Other crimes against children involve physical abuse or other mistreatment. New Jersey criminal charges involving children include:
- Child molestation
- Child molestation by family members or friends
- Child pornography
- Child sexual assault
- Child sexual exploitation
- Endangering the welfare of a child
- Exploitation of a minor/child
When someone is convicted of a sex-related crime against a child, New Jersey’s “Megan’s Law” requires that person to register as a sex offender. There are different registration requirements depending on the charge. The most stringent involve regular psychological evaluations and notification of everyone in a neighborhood if a person on the registry moves in.
These are serious consequences, and we will discuss all the possible outcomes with you before deciding on a criminal defense strategy. If you’ve been accused of a child abuse crime, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Dealing With Sensitive Situations
Defending a client accused of a crime against a child involves unique challenges. The defense attorney must assert the client’s rights despite the natural sympathy most people feel toward children, whether or not they are involved as witnesses for the prosecution.
