Frequently Asked Questions
What is aggravated sexual assault in New Jersey?
Aggravated sexual assault is a first-degree crime under N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2a, carrying 10-20 years with an 85% mandatory minimum under NERA. It involves sexual penetration with specific aggravating factors like weapon use or victim age.
What is Megan’s Law registration in NJ?
Megan’s Law (N.J.S.A. 2C:7-1 et seq.) requires lifetime registration for most sex offenses. The Sex Offender Risk Assessment (SORA) determines tier level at sentencing. Failure to register is a separate fourth-degree crime.
How long does a sex crime case take in Camden County?
Grand jury indictment typically occurs within 90 days. Trial preparation takes 6-18 months. No statute of limitations applies to sexual assault cases in New Jersey, allowing prosecution years after the alleged offense.
What happens at a SORA hearing?
At sentencing, the court conducts a Sex Offender Risk Assessment hearing to determine registration tier (Tier 1, 2, or 3). The tier affects registration duration, community notification, and residency restrictions under New Jersey law.
Can I get a public defender for a sex crime case?
Yes, qualifying defendants can obtain a public defender. However, sex crime cases often require experienced witnesses (forensic, psychological) and extensive investigation, making private counsel with dedicated resources advantageous for defense preparation.
