Law enforcement and prosecution have announced that they've not only detained but convicted a violent pedophile who sexually assaulted a 7-year-old child.
According to the prosecution, 26-year-old Darnell Luke forced the seven-year-old to perform a sex act on him in 2015, and was wanted for the crime for nearly two years before his apprehension.
He was then charged with first degree Aggravated Sexual Assault of a minor.
The minor child is not being identified to protect his anonymity, nor is the gender of the child in question, according to the<a href="http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/breaking/atlantic-city-man-pleads-guilty-to-child-sex-assault/article_c453dd68-117c-56cc-8973-a748b03b8b01.html"> Press of Atlantic City</a>.
During an interrogation with Detectives Michael Peterson and Daniel Choe of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, Luke then admitted to the sexual abuse of the young child.
Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner said that Luke agreed to a plea deal in which he will receive a 15-year sentence to be served in a New Jersey state prison and will be subject to Megan’s Law and Parole Supervision for Life.
