Man pleads guilty to sex assault of four children younger than 10

  • News
An Atlantic City man admitted to the sexual assault of four juveniles younger than 10. Adan Otero, 27, pleaded guilty Friday to four counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child. Under the plea agreement, he faces 17 years in prison with 85 percent of parole ineligibility under the No Early Release Act. Over a period of several months in the spring of 2016, Otero sexually assaulted four juvenile victims in various locations in Atlantic City, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner said. The endangering charge was in connection to a fifth victim. Three of the victims were siblings, BreakingAC learned. Otero is in custody in the Atlantic County Justice Facility in lieu of bail, as it is a pre-bail reform case. The investigation was a cooperative effort by Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office detectives and the Atlantic City Police Department. He is scheduled to be sentenced in May.
