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, serious injury, or victim vulnerability.
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 your tier level at sentencing, affecting community notification and supervision requirements.
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. New Jersey has no statute of limitations for sexual assault, meaning charges can be filed years after the alleged incident.
What happens at a SORA hearing?
At sentencing, the court conducts a Sex Offender Risk Assessment hearing. A psychologist evaluates you, and the judge determines your tier level (1, 2, or 3) for community notification and registration requirements.
Can I get a public defender for a sex crime case?
Yes, if you qualify financially. However, sex crime cases often require experienced witnesses (forensic, psychological) that public defenders may not have resources for. Private counsel like Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. provides full defense resources.
