Man Sexually Assaulted 4 Kids In Galloway: Prosecutor

GALLOWAY, NJ — An Egg Harbor City man admitted to sexually assaulting four Galloway children between three and 13-years-old, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said.

Jaquan Dublin, 20, pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree sexual assault, officials said.

Dublin was charged on Feb. 10, 2021 after a several month investigation into the sexual assaults that all occurred in Galloway in the summer of 2020, officials said.

Though Dublin was 18 when he was charged, he was 17 when the assaults occurred, officials said. The court granted a motion for Dublin to be prosecuted as an adult.

Dublin faces three concurrent sentences of 25 years in New Jersey State Prison, according to officials. He will be required to serve the entire sentence without parole. A fourth sentence of 20 years subject to the No Early Release Act requires that he serve eighty-five percent of that sentence before being eligible for parole.

In total, Dublin will be required to serve 25 years before he is released, officials said. Upon release, Dublin will have to register under Megan's Law and undergo parole supervision for life, according to officials.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 27, but could change pending an evaluation at the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Avenel.
