Understanding The Harassment Charge In Camden County
If accused under Section 2C:33-4 in Camden County N.J., the following conduct falls under the provisions:
– Offensive communication
– Unwanted physical contact like shoving
– Repeated acts that create an alarming situation
It’s important to note that no charge under N.J.S.A. 2C:33-4 can stand if there was no intention from the accused to harass or harm their victim(s).
Improper Communication
The statute defines any communication with the intention to harass or harm as a violation. Additionally, it can also apply where this communication happens anonymously, at peculiar hours, involves harsh or lewd language, or is aimed at causing annoyance or alarm.
Offensive Touching
The statute prohibits conduct that includes “striking, kicking, shoving, or engaging in another offensive touching” or threatening to do so. While this offense may overlap with simple assault charges in some instances, for a violation under N.J.S.A. 2C:33-4 to stand, the intent should be to cause harassment, distress or both.
Alarming Acts or Conduct
When someone repeatedly acts in a manner intended to provoke serious annoyance/offer considerable amounts of distress/safety concerns etc., they may face charges of harassment under NJ state law. However note that Case law limits the circumstances in which an alarming act can become harassment-
Penalties for NJ Harassment Conviction
