Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

a. As used in P.L.2025, c. 39 (C.2C:20-7.3 et al.):

“Online platform” means any public-facing Internet website, Internet web application, or computer or mobile application, including a social networking website or publication.

“Sale” means any sale, transfer, exchange, barter, or offer for sale and distribution, in any manner or by any means whatsoever, including, but not limited to, via an online platform.

b. A person is guilty of fostering the sale of stolen property, a disorderly persons offense, if the person, acting alone or in concert with another person or persons, advertises or otherwise assists, by any means, including through personal contact or through the use of an online platform or any other communications channel or medium, in the sale of property of another knowing that it has been stolen or reasonably believing that it is stolen.

c. The following presumptions are available in the prosecution of an offense under this section of fostering the sale of stolen property:

(1) Proof of the property being advertised for sale at a price substantially below its fair market value, unless satisfactorily explained, gives rise to an inference that the person advertising or otherwise assisting in the sale of the property knew that it is stolen or reasonably believed that the property is stolen; and

(2) Proof that a person advertised or otherwise assisted in the sale of the property without having ascertained by reasonable inquiry that the person offering the property for sale had a legal right to possess or control it gives rise to an inference that such person knew that it is stolen or reasonably believed that it is stolen.

d. Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude or limit the prosecution or conviction of any person for any other crime or offense.
