A 4350 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Imposes mandatory term of life imprisonment without eligibility for parole on persons who commit particularly brutal sexual assaults.

This bill (A4350) requires mandatory life imprisonment without parole for specific severe sexual assault convictions in New Jersey. It directly affects individuals convicted of: (1) aggravated sexual assault causing serious bodily injury (under N.J.S.2C:14-2), and (2) sexual assault involving minors (16 or younger) where a deadly weapon was used or threatened. Key mechanisms include eliminating parole eligibility for these offenses and establishing extended sentencing ranges (e.g., 30 years to life for aggravated cases) where parole restrictions apply. The law amends existing statutes to enforce these mandatory terms for the most severe sexual assault scenarios.
