DOVER — Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, Chief of Detectives Robert McNally, and Rockaway Township Police Chief Martin McParland Jr., confirmed the sentencing of Nathaniel G. Yanez, 23, Newark, and previously of Dover.
On December 8, 2023, the Hon. Stephen J. Taylor, P.J. Cr. imposed an aggregate sentence of 12 years in New Jersey State Prison subject to 85% parole ineligibility according to the No Early Release Act. Yanez was also ordered to register under Megan’s Law and will be under Parole Supervision for Life. Yanez was ordered to have no contact with the three victims.
On April 27, 2023, Yanez had previously entered guilty pleas to three counts of second-degree Sexual Assault and one count of third-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child. Yanez had been detained at the Morris County Correctional Facility following his arrest in March of 2022 on the initial charges.
The charges stem from incidents involving two victims at the Hilton Garden Inn in Rockaway, and a residence in Dover, as well as another victim who was identified from videos on the defendant’s phone.
