Facing criminal charges can come as a shocking and stressful situation for any individual. Luckily, they may be able to find out what legal options may be available to them that could potentially benefit their situation. If an individual is charged for alleged sex crimes, he or she may want to explore the criminal proceedings for such offenses and how they may be able to move forward with their case.
A man in New Jersey may be looking into his options after he was taken into custody for alleged sexual offenses. It was reported that the situation began over 10 years ago when the man was apparently 19 years old. At the time, the man was allegedly having sexual relations with an individual who was between the ages of 13 and 16.
An investigation into the alleged situation led to the man’s recent arrest. The man currently faces charges for sexual assault as well as child endangerment. He was taken to jail after being unable to post a $50,000 bond, but the amount has since been posted and the man released. It was noted that if the man is found guilty of the charges, he could potentially face 10 years in prison.
A conviction for sex crimes could follow the man for the rest of his life and have a negative impact on his future. As a result, he may wish to determine the best routes to defend against the allegations that are currently leveled against him. He may wish to request any evidence that the prosecution may have against him and also provide any relevant evidence that he may have that could benefit his case. Gaining knowledge on New Jersey criminal proceedings relating to his case could also help him better prepare.
