conviction establishes that the victim
was a minor, conviction under
circumstances set forth in other
subsections of 2C:14-2(a) might also
be deemed a “sexual abuse of a
minor” AF. See note on Singh
above. If term of imprisonment of at
least one year is imposed, would
probably be deemed a "crime of
violence" AF if record shows the
crime was committed under
circumstances set forth in
subsections (4), (5) or (6) of 2C:14-
2(a), and might be deemed a "crime
of violence" AF if record of
conviction shows the crime was
committed under circumstances set
forth in subsection (3) depending on
the underlying offense.
Would probably be
considered a CIMT. If the victim was a current orformer spouse or similarly
situated individual, a
conviction might be
considered a CODV.
