Defining Sex Crimes in New Jersey

Sex crimes are defined by New Jersey statute as any sexual act that is performed without the consent of one or both parties. This includes rape, sexual assault and child molestation.

Aggravated Sexual Assault

In New Jersey, a sex crime charge becomes more severe if the defendant is charged with aggressive sexual assault. When the criminal charges against you include the following factors, you are facing aggravated sexual assault charges:

  • The victim is under 13
  • Use of a weapon in the attack
  • Multiple perpetrators

Aggravated sexual assault is a first-degree crime in New Jersey, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and inclusion on the sex offender registry. The state also does not recognize statutes of limitations for sex crimes. Because of the severe and far-reaching implications of sex offense charges, do not hesitate to contact our law office immediately.

Understanding Megan’s Law

Megan’s law is the federal law that created the sex offender registry, in which all individuals accused of sex crimes have their names and addresses shared with the public. In many cases, inclusion on this list is mandatory for convicted criminals. If convicted of a sex crime in New Jersey, you are required to register as a sex offender.
