Bill Summary
Provides affirmative defense to prostitution charge for persons under 16.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law concerning prostitution to provide an affirmative defense for individuals charged with prostitution if they were under the age of 16 at the time of the alleged offense. An affirmative defense means that if proven, it can excuse the defendant from criminal liability, even if the prosecution proves the basic elements of the crime. This addition to the law, specifically to N.J.S.2C:34-1, aims to protect minors from being prosecuted for prostitution, recognizing their potential vulnerability and victimhood in such situations.
