IANAL  [...but that hasn't stopped anyone else... :-)  ]

Someone who receives stolen goods may be charged with aiding and abetting or as an accessory to robbery/burglary, etc. but a fence is a person who "traffics" in stolen goods. Their intent is to receive and resell the stolen property for profit.
