State v. Bottigliero

In State v. Bottigliero, 174 N.J. Super. 101, 415 A.2d 396 (Resentencing Panel, 1980), the court ruled that the defendant's prior convictions under N.J.S.A. 2A:96-3, debauching and impairing the morals of a minor, were congruent offenses to endangering the welfare of a child under N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4. The court concluded that the defendant's acts of showing a 9 year old girl pictures of a man and women having sexual intercourse and separately asking an 11 year old girl to feel his penis would violate this statute. While not specifically referring to the term "sexual conduct," the court obviously ruled that this section of the endangering statute had been violated.
