NJ Man Sexually Assaulted His Girlfriend’s 8-Year-Old Daughter, Jury Finds

WARREN COUNTY, NJ — A Warren County man has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a child, according to the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office.

Kevin Micucci, 39, of Phillipsburg, was convicted of several charges relating to the sexual abuse of a girl under 13, prosecutors say.

According to court documents, Micucci sexually assaulted the 8-year-old daughter of a girlfriend between 2018 and 2019.

Micucci was indicted in 2021 for the abuse charges, but the indictment was dismissed without prejudice due to a conflict with the victim’s testimony on the timeline of abuse, court documents show.

Due to the indictment being dismissed without prejudice, prosecutors were able to refile, and Micucci was charged with two counts of sexual assault by contact, endangering the welfare of a child, and lewdness.

NJ.com reports that Micucci was employed as a custodian at a Phillipsburg elementary school at the time of the abuse, but school officials said there’s no evidence that any of the abuse occurred on school property.

On Friday, Micucci was found guilty on all charges except one of the sexual assault by contact counts.

Micucci is currently awaiting his April 10 sentencing at the Warren County Correctional Center. He faces more than 21 years in prison.
