A South Jersey man faces up to 25 years for child sexual assault

A South Jersey man now faces up to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old in 2020.

On Wednesday, a Gloucester County jury found Frank Natanni, 43, of Washington Township, guilty of the following charges:

  • Second degree sexual assault
  • Third degree aggravated criminal sexual contact

The charges stem from allegations in 2020 that Natanni engaged in sexual contact with a child when he was 12, which continued after he turned 13. Natanni was the child’s neighbor and sports coach.

Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office say“In addition to the inappropriate touching, the defendant also engaged in sexually suggestive messaging with the child via Snapchat.

As a result of the verdict, Natanni faces up to 25 years in prison, will be on lifetime parole supervision and will be required to register as a Megan’s Law offender.
