Ian Forrester, of Riverton, pleaded guilty last August to first-degree aggravated sexual assault and child endangerment, according to Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw.

Forrester was sentenced on Feb. 26 in the Supreme Court in Mount Holly, the prosecutor said, adding he must serve the entire term before becoming eligible for release.

The assaults occurred several years ago on more than one victim. Details about the crimes, along with the ages of the victims, are being withheld to protect their identities, the prosecutor said.

Forrester was prosecuted by Assistant Prosecutor Stephen Eife, supervisor of the BCPO Special Victims Unit. The investigation was conducted by the Prosecutor’s Office, with Detective Michele Ragone as the lead investigator.
