A Shrewsbury man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to the sexual assault of seven juvenile victims, all under the age of 13, between 2008 and 2018, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced.

Victor Mejia-Salinas, 46, of Shrewsbury, pleaded guilty to: two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, three counts of second-degree sexual assault and two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a child before Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Vincent N. Falcetano. 

The charges stem from three separate indictments that were the results of joint investigations by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, the Red Bank Police Department, and the New Jersey State Police.

Mejia Salinas’ guilty plea is in connection with incidents that occurred in Red Bank, Shrewsbury and Wall Township between 2008 and 2011 and 2013 and 2018. Mejia-Salinas admitted under oath to sexually assaulting and endangering the welfare of seven juvenile victims, all under the age of 13, who were family members and friends of his.

The terms of the plea calls for an aggregate sentence of 18 years in a New Jersey state prison with an 18-year period of parole ineligibility. Mejia-Salinas will also be subject to the requirements of Parole Supervision for Life and Megan’s Law Registration upon his release from prison. 

Mejia-Salinas returns for sentencing before Judge Falcetano on May 29, 2020.
