Understanding Sex Crimes In New Jersey
Sex crimes are among the most common criminal offenses in New Jersey and there is a broad range of charges, including:
- Sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault
- Criminal sexual contact
- Prostitution and solicitation of a prostitute
- Lewd conduct and indecent exposure
- Stalking
- Internet sex offenses
I also represent clients who have been charged with sex crimes against children, including:
- Child molestation and molestation by a family member or friend
- Possession and distribution of child pornography
- Endangering the welfare of a child
There are many different ways to be charged with a sex crime in New Jersey. Your crime may be consensual, such as solicitation of prostitution, or committed in public like lewd conduct, or involve force like sexual assault. In New Jersey, sexual assault is a far-reaching law that also defines the conduct required to be guilty of rape and child molestation.
If you have been charged with a sex crime in New Jersey, or even if you feel that you are suspected of one, it is crucial to contact an attorney immediately in order to prevent incriminating evidence from accumulating against you.
The Penalties For Sex Crimes In New Jersey
Every sex crime is unique and carries different penalties which can include prison time, commitment to sexual rehabilitation programs, fines, and community service. However, one thing that most sex crimes have in common is Megan’s Law. Megan’s Law requires convicted sex offenders to register with local authorities after their release so that information of their crimes and whereabouts can be disseminated to the public. This is one of the toughest parts of a sex crime conviction because in a very large way, the penalties continue after prison.
