Frequently Asked Questions About Defense of Sex Crimes in New Jersey
Some types of sex crime convictions carry a registration requirement. Examples of convictions that will carry registration requirements under Megan’s Law include:
– Sexual assault,
– Criminal sexual contact with a minor,
– Statutory rape,
– Child pornography,
– Aggravated criminal sexual contact,
– Kidnapping of a minor,
– Endangering the welfare of a child.
This list is not exclusive, and a sex crime conviction may require registration—meaning that you will have to register every time you move, and schools, daycare centers and other facilities near your home may be notified. Some sex offender registries are available to the public.
No. Sex crime cases often come down to one person’s word against another person’s word. Circumstantial evidence can make you look guilty even if you aren’t. Because of the sensitive nature of sex crimes, juries are often inclined to support the prosecution even without hard evidence of your guilt. You need a strong and capable lawyer to argue on your behalf and help convince the jury of your innocence.
Sex crimes, like sexual assault, can be “aggravated” by a number of factors. For example, if it is alleged that you used a weapon in commission of sexual assault, your charge can be upgraded to aggravated sexual assault. Basically, this means that you will be facing a more serious crime—a first-degree crime instead of a second-degree crime, with longer potential jail terms and harsher penalties generally.
