When someone accuses you of non-consensual sexual conduct, your career, reputation, and future are at stake. Bringing the case through military court may lead to consequences that federal jurisdiction recognizes.
Title V of the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act deals exclusively with reporting the improper conduct of military members in any battalion. Under this legislation, the Department of Defense must report relevant information to the Department of Justice and various sex offender registries. Take a closer look at the mandated actions following a military court martial.
Anyone convicted of a sex crime as an active military member must comply with the statutes outlined in the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. Section 128A states that individuals who are convicted or released from military corrections confinement must register on state and federal sex offender registries. Section 502 enforces this action by requiring the Department of Defense to report a soldier’s conduct so they appear on the appropriate registries.
Our military sex crime lawyers will help you understand the severity of the allegations and defend you in court proceedings in hopes of avoiding a conviction. Our goal is to dismiss any accusations without merit so you won’t face consequences both within the military chain of command and as a civilian.
Every state keeps a list of registered sex offenders, which you can access in a national registry. The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website contains convicted individuals’ contact information that you can either search by name or jurisdiction.
At Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC, our military sex crime lawyers deal with cases subject to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. Under this federal statute, sex crime convictions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice are subject to sex offender registration requirements.
Case Study
A recent case in Somerset County, Somerville, New Jersey, venue in the Superior Court proved that point. A man was accused of sexual assault, violation of NJSA 2C: 14-2. The allegation was that while a woman was drunk, he took advantage of her and committed the act of sexual assault. He was in prison for five to 10 years, under Megan’s Law.
Service members accused of harmful behavior involving children could be under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security. United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents may conduct thorough investigations regarding:
The goal of the department’s Child Exploitation Investigation Unit is to enforce operations and prevent such crimes against minors.
The federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, or SORNA, strengthens the nation’s sex offender registration programs in several ways:
Military sex crime lawyers defend their clients with SORNA in mind. Under SORNA’s Substantial Implementation Review in New Jersey, military personnel don’t have to worry about registering as a sex offender following certain crimes, such as possession of child pornography.
Offenses within the Uniform Code of Military Justice must be comparable to the federal offenses New Jersey recognizes under SORNA. Bear in mind that some military offenses, such as conduct unbecoming, will not require joining the state’s registry.
