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 and public notification requirements at sentencing. Tier 3 requires community notification.
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. There is no statute of limitations for sexual assault in New Jersey, 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. The judge considers factors like offense details, criminal history, and treatment participation to determine your risk tier (1, 2, or 3) and corresponding 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 and extensive investigation, which may be better handled by private counsel with specific experience in these complex matters. Public defenders have heavy caseloads.
