Miguel Mota Convicted in Decade-Long Abuse Case | Newark News

A jury in Camden County just convicted 41-year-old Miguel Mota on four counts of aggravated sexual assault after a four-week trial — a case rooted in a decade-long pattern of abuse against two children. The first victim, aged 7 to 16, and the second, aged 5 to 14, bravely testified. The investigation began in April 2020 after one victim came forward, with additional charges added in July 2024 when the second victim spoke up. Mota also faces convictions for sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Sentencing is set for September 25 — a moment of reckoning for a predator whose crimes spanned nearly a decade, and a victory for survivors who finally found their voice.
