Prohibits court from requiring victim of sexual offense to submit to certain examinations.
This New Jersey bill prohibits courts from ordering victims of sexual offenses to undergo specific physical exams, such as gynecological checks or examinations of the breasts, buttocks, anus, or sexual organs. It applies to cases involving aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, criminal sexual contact, and human trafficking. The law also ensures that if a victim refuses these specific exams, their refusal cannot be used to dismiss other relevant evidence collected during the case. This change aims to limit invasive procedures while maintaining the ability of courts to use other available evidence.
