A janitor at a New York hospital who admitted last year that he tried to arrange sex at a Burlington County motel with an undercover detective he thought was a 14-year-old girl was sentenced to three years in state prison, officials said.
John Emilio, 44, of Staten Island, pleaded guilty on Dec. 23 to attempted endangering the welfare of children in exchange for the prison term, according to a statement from the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office. A judge also ordered that Emilio be placed on the New Jersey sex offender registry upon release and also be under parole supervision for life.
He tried to arrange sex encounter with ‘girl’ he was talking to online. It was actually a cop. Now 3 years in prison.
