State v. J.A.C. (A-102-10; 067520)

State v. J.A.C. (A-102-10; 067520)

   The content of the instant messages written by and to

the victim in this case constitutes “sexual conduct”

within the meaning of N.J.S.A. 2C:14-7(f), and that

content is therefore protected by New Jersey’s Rape

Shield Law.  Any probative value of the content of the

victim’s messages is substantially outweighed by its

prejudice. 6-14-12
