Cases We Handle
The Law Office of Boyd & Squitieri handles a wide array of sex crimes throughout the state of New Jersey. Just some of the sex crimes that our firm handles and has handled in the past are as follows:
- Sexual Assault: In New Jersey, a sexual assault offense involves sexual penetration or sexual contact under various scenarios including force or coercion. New Jersey law seeks to protect rape victims from their abusers, and if you are someone who has been charged with sexual assault, you will have a lot on the line, such as your reputation and your freedom. You cannot afford to proceed without an experienced New Jersey sex crimes attorney on your side. Our firm has defended countless individuals accused of sexual assault in the past, and we are prepared to defend you as well.
- Indecent Exposure: Lewdness & Indecent exposure, is essentially when someone exposes their intimate parts to others for their own sexual gratification and without consent. Lewdness comes with very serious penalties and can entail incarceration, high fines, and more. Do not face an accusation of lewdness on your own.
- Child Pornography: The possession, distribution, or manufacturing of child pornography has the potential to ruin a person’s life. Unfortunately, in many cases, people face child pornography charges without even realizing they were committing a crime. If you are facing such charges, you need competent legal assistance on your side.
- Human Trafficking: Human Trafficking occurs when the accused holds, recruits, harbors, transports, or encourages someone to engage in sexual activity or labor and they are under 18 years of age or they are under the power and control of the accused. Human trafficking has very serious consequences, including potentially serving life in prison.
- Prostitution: Prostitution is a crime that involves one party exchanging money or property for sexual acts, such as intercourse. Prostitution is recognized as a very serious crime in the state of New Jersey, and those arrested for it can guarantee that they will face consequences that may land them in jail, cost high fines, and more.
- Child Sexual Abuse/Child Molestation: If you’ve been charged with molesting a child, you can expect to spend decades in prison if you do not have competent legal counsel on your side. Unfortunately, many accusations of child molestation are simply false and are used to game the system. This is unacceptable. Our firm has fought on behalf of people who’ve been falsely accused of child molestation, and we are prepared to fight for you as well.
- Domestic Violence: Domestic violence charges can tear a family apart, and we’ve seen it happen. That being said, many times domestic violence accusations are false, exaggerated, or otherwise untrue and merely a strategic position during a break up or divorce. You should note that domestic violence cases are a time-sensitive matter, as often it only takes 10 days until a final restraining order hearing, where you can permanently be barred from coming into contact with the accuser or their family, including your own children. That is why anyone who’s been charged with domestic violence should retain the services of a knowledgeable New Jersey domestic violence attorney as soon as they possibly can.
- Internet Sex Crimes: Internet sex crimes have drastically spiked over the last few years. Some examples of internet sex crimes include child pornography, revenge porn, and cyberstalking. Our firm has the knowledge and resources to effectively defend you against such charges, every step of the way.
- Supervision for Life: If you were released on parole and placed on supervision for life, you should strongly consider hiring an attorney who can interact with your parole officer on your behalf. If you are currently accused of violating the terms of your supervision for life, you should speak with an attorney who can work to keep you out of jail or prison.

Megan’s Law
