Man sentenced for sexually assaulting 3 teens in Morris County

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ – A 23-year-old man was sentenced to state prison for sexually assaulting three teens last year in Morris County, according to Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll.

Nathaniel G. Yanez of Newark, N.J. and previously of Dover was sentenced on Dec. 8 by the Hon. Stephen J. Taylor, P.J.Cr. to an aggregate sentence of 12 years New Jersey State Prison subject to 85 percent parole ineligibility pursuant to the No Early Release Act, Carroll said.

Yanez was also ordered to register under Megan’s Law and will be under Parole Supervision for Life. He was ordered to have no contact with the three victims, Carroll said.

Yanez had previously entered guilty pleas on April 27 to three counts of second-degree sexual assault and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child. He 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 Yanez’s phone.
