Man Sentenced 46 Years for Decade-Long Abuse | Newark News

A 51-year-old man from Hamilton, Jose Membreno-Aguilar, received a staggering 46-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting a child over a decade — a crime that left prosecutors and victims’ families devastated. After a March jury convicted him on 10 counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office announced the sentencing on July 28. Under New Jersey’s No Early Release Act, he must serve at least 85% of his sentence — meaning he’ll likely be behind bars for decades — and will be required to register as a sex offender for life. This case underscores the justice system’s unwavering stance against prolonged, predatory abuse and the long road to accountability and rehabilitation.
