29 Aug
Summary
- A Paulsboro man received a 31½-year prison sentence.
- He was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a teenager.
- The offender also refused to provide a required DNA sample.
Jason Bailey, 48, of Paulsboro, has been sentenced to 31½ years in state prison. This sentence follows his conviction by a jury on multiple offenses related to the sexual assault of a minor. The offenses occurred between December 10, 2023, and involved a teenager between the ages of 13 and 16.
Bailey was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and refusing to submit a DNA sample, which is legally required. His criminal history led to him being classified as a "persistent offender." The court also noted his refusal to provide a DNA sample upon arrest.
Judge Benjamin D. Morgan handed down the sentence. Bailey received 30 years for aggravated sexual assault, requiring him to serve 85% before parole eligibility. An additional 18 months for refusing DNA submission will run consecutively, while a five-year sentence for another aggravated criminal sexual assault charge will run concurrently.
