    Frequently Asked Questions About Sexual Assault Charges in Burlington County, NJ

    FAQ: Will I have to register as a sex offender if convicted of sexual assault in New Jersey? What does that mean?

    You may be facing Megan’s Law registration requirements if convicted for sexual assault. Megan’s Law registration requirements vary depending upon the perceived danger to the community. Registration based on a sexual assault conviction could mean:

    -Your neighbors will have access to your photo and address, which are listed on a sex offender registration database that may be available to the public in general,
    -Schools, certain community organizations both near your home and workplace may be notified of your status,
    -You will have to notify authorities every time you move, and face additional criminal charges if you fail to do so,
    -You may have difficulty finding housing.

    FAQ: What if the prosecution’s only evidence is that the victim says that they did not consent to having sex? Can I really be convicted of sexual assault?

    Yes, in some cases. If the alleged victim’s testimony is compelling enough, it is possible that a jury could convict based on that evidence alone—especially if circumstances supporting the crime are strong enough that the prosecution has chosen to move forward with the case. That is one reason that having the best possible lawyer in your corner is so important. We go above and beyond to get evidence that the prosecution may not have obtained to build the strongest defense strategy available in your case.
