Asbury Park, NJ man found guilty of sexually abusing child for years
An Asbury Park man has been found guilty by a Monmouth County Jury after he sexually assaulted a child under the age of 12-years old for several years, according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond Santiago.
An investigation began by Asbury Park Police and then along with the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Bureau in the summer of 2021, law enforcement learned that 38-year-old Julian B. Hart -- a sex offender at the time as well under Megan's Law and under Parole Supervision for Life -- had repeated incidents between September 27, 2014 and December 16, 2015 where he sexually abused the child who was under the age of 12-years old.
Hart was arrested and charged that August and indicted last October leading to the guilty verdict by a jury this month for first-degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, second-degree Sexual Assault, third-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child and third-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child for the Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Materials.
