Atlantic City Stepdad Sexually Assaulted 8-Year-Old Girl: Prosecutor

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — An Atlantic City man was convicted of sexual assault after touching his 8-year-old stepdaughter while she was asleep, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said.

A jury found Andreas Andreadis, 44, guilty of sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child by sexual conduct and endangering the welfare of a child by abuse.

On Sept. 15, 2019, Andreadis entered the girl's bedroom and touched her vagina while she was sleeping, officials said. He was her stepfather at the time, according to authorities.

Andreadis faces between five and 10 years in New Jersey State Prison for each offense as well as mandatory registration as a sex offender and parole supervision for life.

However, authorities said that due to his criminal history, an extended term of imprisonment will be sought, which would increase the term to between five and 20 years in prison.

It was not clear what his criminal history is.

Andreadis must undergo an evaluation at the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Avenel to determine whether he poses a risk of reoffending before his sentencing, authorities said.

Pending the evaluation, sentencing is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 9, 2023.
