Anthony J. Perona, 68, of Mullica Hill in Gloucester County was sentenced on Thursday after pleading guilty in August to endangering the welfare of a child, Acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Cary Shill said.

Shill did not release details about the sexual conduct.

Perona’s Aug. 2 guilty plea came shortly after a jury trial on several related charges which resulted in a hung jury, Shill said.

Perona acknowledged engaging in sexual conduct with a juvenile female known to him which would "tend to impair or debauch her morals," Shill said.

Chief Assistant Prosecutor John Flammer handled the case.
