How Many Years In Prison Does Someone Face For Aggravated Sexual Assault?

Typically, the range of imprisonment is 10-20 years for aggravated sex assault. However, New Jersey adopted enhanced penalties in the Lunsford Act that apply where the victim of sexual assault (i.e. child molestation) is under the age of thirteen (13). An individual faces a term of imprisonment of 25 years with the possibility of life in prison when they are convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a victim who is under thirteen (13).
