New Jersey A332 allows victims and witnesses of human trafficking to testify via closed circuit television in criminal proceedings.
New Jersey A332 expands the use of closed circuit television for testimony in criminal proceedings to include all victims and witnesses of human trafficking, not just those involved in sexual activity cases. The bill permits the defendant's counsel to be present during the testimony and allows private conferral between the defendant and their attorney. It also allows a trial judge to request closed circuit testimony. If the victim or witness is under 18, the audio recording is confidential and not part of the appeal record unless the court orders otherwise.
