Frequently Asked Questions About Child Endangerment Charges in Burlington County, NJ

What happens if I am convicted of endangering the welfare of a child in New Jersey?

If you are found guilty of endangering the welfare of a child you will face very steep penalties for the crime. The penalties you will be faced with will depend on the circumstances of your case e.g. what was your relationship with the child and what charges you are facing.

If you have been found guilty of a third degree crime, you will face between 3 and 5 years in state prison. If you have been found guilty of a second degree crime, you will face even harsher penalties including a 5 to 10-year sentence in state prison.

If you are found guilty of a crime that was of a sexual nature, you will be required to register as a sex offender. These records as well as your criminal records will be accessible to the public. This means that you will continue to bear the consequences of your conviction long after completing your prison sentence.

It is therefore important to fight and avoid conviction at all costs. Contact us for representation from an experienced Burlington County child endangerment defense attorney who will fight to protect your rights and freedom.

Is possession of child porn also considered endangering a child’s welfare?

Yes. New Jersey law outlines seven different forms of misconduct that qualify as child endangerment. Possession of child porn is listed among these types of misconduct. However, your charges will depend on your relationship with the child. You could therefore be facing a second or third degree indictable offense.

However, it should be noted that New Jersey laws on child endangerment are quite vague. Interpretation of the law can result in a person being charged with a crime that they did not commit. It is vital that you have the representation of an experienced and skilled Burlington County child endangerment defense attorney. We will fight to ensure your rights and freedom are protected.
