Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

What happens to a person who is being accused of Child Endagerment (3 counts) due to having videos on the computer of minors engaged in sexual acts. This person DID NOT know the people in the video DID NOT know who filmed the video but just somehow got it through a file sharing website. This person believes that the counts are being viewed as fourth degree. What will happen to this person? This person was under the impression that the bail was set to $35,000. So they thought they can work with a bail bondsman but when we call no bail is set. The person said that they told him that the bail is $35,000 with no bail. I am confused. This person has never been arrested before. Any suggestions?

The initial bail may be a cash bail which can only be paid in case. Your friend needs to hire an attornery to deal with this problem and the greater problem of the charges filed against him.

These are very serious charges. I would have to review all the evidence in the case before I could give an opinion as to what penalties he is facing and what defenses he may have. Possession alone of the items described is illegal despite not knowing the parties involved. No matter what, due to the seriousness of the charges, the person needs an experienced criminal defense attorney. Please contact my office for a free consultation. Thank you.
