Atlantic City man admits to sexual assault of two boys

Santos Blanco


  • Crime-Courts

An Atlantic City man pleaded guilty last week to the sexual assault of two boys.

Santos Blanco, 43, faces 12 years in prison when he is sentenced under the plea agreement, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner said.

He would have to serve at least 85 percent of any sentence.

Blanco was first charged in September 2017, in connection with the assault of one child. The next month, he was charged in the assault of another victim.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual assault in the attacks on the juveniles.

Before he is sentenced, Blanco will have to be examined at the Avenel Adult Diagnostic Treatment Center.

He also faces lifetime supervision under Megan’s Law and will have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
