SEX CRIMES
Sex Crimes are some of the most serious crimes charged in the State of New Jersey. Because of the severity of these crimes, State Prosecutors often prosecute these matters to the fullest extent allowed under the law. However, a rigorous defense can mitigate a person’s exposure and leverage a favorable resolution or plea to a charged Sex Crime.
Some of the most commonly charged sex crimes are:
-
Sexual Assault.
-
Aggravated Sexual Assault.
-
Prostitution.
-
Criminal Sexual Contact.
-
Luring.
-
Lewdness.
-
Human Trafficking.
-
Child Pornography.
Some of the potential penalties for sex crimes are:
-
Fourth-degree charges for criminal sexual contact (unwanted sexual touching, which can carry up to 18 months in prison and $10,000 in fines.
-
Second-degree sexual assault (rape) charges (five to ten years in prison and up to $150,000 in fines).
-
Third-degree possession of child pornography charges (three to five years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines).
-
First-degree aggravated sexual assault charges, which can result in a prison sentence of between 25 years and life in prison (and up to $200,000 in fines).
Grading of the crime also depends heavily on the unique circumstances surrounding the charges against you. Aggravating factors such as the victim’s (young) age and allegations of violence can result in more serious charges. Special sentencing laws may impose minimum mandatory prison terms. You need a defense lawyer who understands the entire picture to present the evidence in the most favorable light possible.
