New Jersey S2673 expands jurisdiction for prosecution of crimes against minors committed outside New Jersey.

New Jersey S2673 amends the statute concerning endangering the welfare of a child, N.J.S.2C:24-4, to apply to situations where a person having a legal duty of care or having assumed responsibility for the care of a child in New Jersey engages in sexual conduct with that child in a jurisdiction other than New Jersey. The bill aims to ensure that New Jersey has jurisdiction to prosecute such crimes, regardless of where they occur, and is consistent with territorial jurisdiction provisions in criminal cases.
