Justin Kuhl of Millville, NJ, Found Guilty

Earlier this week, a Cumberland County Jury returned guilty verdicts against 32-year-old Justin Kuhl on two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.

The Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office says those charges originated from several incidents that occurred between January 2019 and September 2020 in Millville.

According to authorities, during that timeframe, Kuhl sexually assaulted a minor under the age of thirteen years old, resulting in her becoming pregnant.
