NEWARK, N.J. – Angelo N. Curato, a 30-year-old man from Manalapan, New Jersey, was sentenced to 120 months in prison for using online chat applications to entice an adolescent to engage in prohibited sexual activity.
Curato pleaded guilty via videoconference on July 18, 2022, before U.S. District Judge Brian Martinotti to a superseding information charging him with one count of online enticement of a minor. The case’s outcome sends a clear message regarding the consequences of such illicit activities and serves as a deterrent for potential offenders.
