A 43-year-old township man was found guilty on Nov. 13 of sexually assaulting a minor in 2020.
Frank Natanni, who was the victim’s sports coach and neighbor, was convicted in Gloucester County Superior Court of sexual assault and related crimes, according to the county prosecutor.
Natanni was convicted of engaging in sexual contact with the minor four years ago, when she was 12, continuing after the child turned 13. In addition to inappropriate touching, Natanni also engaged in sexually suggestive messaging with the child via Snapchat.
Natanni faces up to 25 years in prison, 10 of which are subject to the No Early Release Act, which requires those convicted to serve 85% of their sentence before being eligible for parole. Natanni will also be required to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law and will be subject to parole supervision for life once he’s released from prison.
