Camden County Sex Crime Court Process
Sex crime cases in Camden County are prosecuted by the County Prosecutor’s Office and heard in the Superior Court Criminal Division. These are indictable offenses, meaning they proceed through grand jury.
- Initial Arrest and Complaint: You will be charged via complaint. The case is filed in Superior Court. Do not speak to investigators without an attorney present.
- Grand Jury Indictment: The prosecutor presents evidence to a grand jury, typically within 90 days. An indictment is required to proceed.
- Pretrial Motions and Discovery: Your attorney files motions to suppress evidence or dismiss charges. Both sides exchange discovery materials.
- Plea Negotiations or Trial: Most cases resolve through negotiation. If no agreement is reached, the case proceeds to trial, which can take 6-18 months.
- Sentencing and SORA Hearing: If convicted, sentencing determines prison time. A separate SORA hearing sets your sex offender registration tier.
