Criminal sexual contact
Fourth degree 2C:14-3(b)

Conviction might be deemed a
“sexual abuse of a minor” AF if
record shows that the crime was
committed under circumstances set
forth in subsection (3) and (4)of
2C:14-2(c). If later removal
proceedings are held outside the
Third Circuit and record of
conviction establishes that victim
was a minor, conviction under
circumstances set forth in
subsections (1) and (2) of 2C:14-2(c)
would probably 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, and if conviction under
circumstances set forth in subsection
(1) of 2C:14-2(c) requiring the use of
physical force, would probably be
deemed a "crime of violence" AF.
See note on New Jersey 4 degreeth
offenses and “crimes of violence” at
end of chart.
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.
If the record of conviction
shows that the victim was a
child, conviction would
probably be considered a
CAC.
