MORRISTOWN, NJ (Morris County) – A Morris County man has been sentenced to 46 years in prison for repeatedly sexually assaulting a child, according to Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll.
On December 6, 2024, following a three-day trial, a Morris County petit jury convicted Alexander Masariego-Flores, 45, formerly of Morristown, of three counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, two counts of second-degree sexual assault, and two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
On April 25, 2025, the Honorable Claudia R. Jones, J.S.C., imposed a sentence of 46 years in New Jersey State Prison, subject to the provisions of the No Early Release Act, which makes the defendant ineligible for parole until he has served 85% of the sentence imposed. Upon his release, Masariego-Flores will be required to register pursuant to Megan’s Law and comply with the Special Sentence of Parole Supervision for Life. He is also prohibited from having contact with the victim and the victim’s family.
The conviction stems from his sexual abuse of an 8-year-old child between February and September 2023.
On September 16, 2023, the Morristown Police Department received a referral regarding the sexual abuse of a child. Members of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Sex Crimes/Child Endangerment Unit and the Morristown Police Department investigated the referral.
The investigation revealed that Masariego-Flores sexually abused the child on multiple occasions between February and September 2023 at a home in Morristown, and that he sexually abused the child on one occasion in front of another child.
