Hackensack Sexual Assault Charge Lawyer
A sexual assault charge, commonly known as rape, is a very serious charge here in New Jersey. The law is codified under N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2. This charge is commonly prosecuted as a second degree crime. This means that if a defendant is found guilty of this crime, he/she can spend up to ten (10) years in a New Jersey state prison. In addition to this, a fine of up to $150,000.00 can be imposed, parole supervision for life, as well as be placed on Megan’s Law. Moreover, if convicted, a defendant is presumed to be sentence to prison time since it is a second degree felony. Lastly, if convicted, the defendant will have to serve at least 85% of their sentence before they are eligible for parole.
