Can I Obtain Pretrial Intervention for a Criminal Sexual Contact Charge?

Fourth degree and third degree crimes are generally eligible for Pretrial Intervention (“PTI”). Since criminal sexual contact is a fourth degree crime, you can apply for PTI and secure admission into the program if you are a first time offender, have never been granted a diversion previously (i.e. conditional discharge, conditional dismissal or Pretrial Intervention), and the prosecutor does not object to your admission.
