A South Jersey child molester was sentenced today to six years in prison in the sexual assaults of two neighborhood children.
Juan M. Lopez, 49, of Woolwich, Gloucester County, was convicted in August on the sex-assault charges and related counts for his actions, including indecent exposure and fondling, with an 8-year-old and her 6-year-old sister during the summer of 2010.
The older girl, in a statement read by Assistant Prosecutor Kate Mika, said Lopez "kept telling me not to tell anyone" and feared if anyone found out "they are not going to be my friend."
