Strong Counsel From A Camden County Sex Crime Defense Attorney
If you have been accused of a serious crime, you are likely feeling ashamed, embarrassed and scared. You might not know what to do, and the stigma and fear associated with these allegations can be overwhelming.
I understand the gravity of sex crime charges and the immense stress they bring. If you’re facing sexual offense allegations in Camden County or New Jersey, you need a dedicated, experienced lawyer on your side. I am Chris Hoffner, and as a Camden sex crime lawyer at HoffnerFirm, I can help you understand the charges against you and develop a strong defense strategy.
What Sex Crime Charges Can A Camden Sex Crime Lawyer From HoffnerFirm Defend You Against?
I defend clients against a wide range of sex crime allegations in South Jersey. Some of the common sexual offense cases I handle include:
- Sexual assault: Nonconsensual sexual contact or behavior, including rape.
- Statutory rape: Engaging in sexual activity with a minor, even if the minor consented.
- Indecent exposure: Exposing oneself in a public place, often with the intention of arousing oneself or others.
- Internet sex crimes: Using the internet to commit sex crimes, such as distributing child pornography or soliciting minors for sexual purposes.
- Sexual contact: Engaging in sexual activity with someone without their consent, including touching or fondling.
These allegations are serious, and the potential consequences are severe. However, as a criminal defense attorney with over 20 years of experience working in the criminal justice system, I know the law and how to fight for your rights.
Do You Have To Register As A Sex Offender If You Are Convicted In New Jersey?
In New Jersey, certain sex crime convictions require you to register as a sex offender. These include aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact if the victim is minor. You may not be required to register if you are classified as being at low risk of re-offending, a juvenile offender or convicted of consensual sex with a minor.
Megan’s Law is a federal law requiring convicted sex offenders to provide personal information to law enforcement, which is then made available to the public. This can affect many aspects of your life, including your reputation and where you can live and work.
Can You Ever Be Removed From New Jersey’s Sex Offender Registry?
In some cases, you may petition for removal from the sex offender registry. This process typically requires a clean record for 15 years after conviction or release from prison. However, certain offenses may require lifetime registration. I can help you understand your options and guide you through the removal process if you are eligible.
