Narrative:
We landed at ewr airport on runway 4R. Tower instructed us to turn left on taxiway P and hold short of taxiway J. I told the captain to hold short of taxiway J as we approached it. He did not stop until our nose was sticking out into taxiway J. The captain said 'well, too late now,' and went ahead and made the right turn onto taxiway H, holding short of runway 4L. Tower told us to cross runway 4L and hold short of taxiway south and call ground. We crossed runway 4L and our nose was past the holding line on the other side, however, our tail may not have been clear of the holding line when we stopped. The ground frequency was congested. When ground called us they told us to move up away from the runway. In the future, I will confirm all hold shorts with the captain immediately on receipt and make sure we are well clear of crossed runways.
