On Aug. 4, a Cumberland County Jury returned guilty verdicts against Pascual Matias on two counts of aggravated assault and child endangerment, according to Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae.
The charges originated from incidents that occurred between November 2006 and November 2009 in the City of Bridgeton and Greenwich Township, she said.
Between those dates the defendant engaged in sexual intercourse with a victim who was less than thirteen years old, Webb-McRae said.
The investigation was conducted by members of the Bridgeton Police Department and the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office.
This was Matias' second trial on the charges. His first trial in 2017 was overturned on appeal. He was sentenced on Wednesday, Nov. 9. The Court also denied a defense motion for a new trial.
