FLEMINGTON — A 54-year-old man has admitted to the violent attempted sexual assault of a child in his care, as well as having child sexual abuse materials in his borough home.

Daniel E. White, of Flemington, pleaded guilty in Superior Court in Hunterdon County to second-degree attempted sexual assault and third-degree possession of child sexual assault material.

Flemington police responded to White’s residence on June 20, 2024, where he admitted possessing multiple sexual abuse materials.

Convict called 911 to confess

White had called 911 on himself last year, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

He then showed responding officers at least 30 disturbing files from his cell phone, featuring young girls performing sex acts.

White also told police that he had attacked a child in his care in 2020, strangling and choking the minor while trying to rape the victim.

Months later in 2021, he demanded lewd photos while threatening the child with violence, according to a criminal complaint in the case.

Under a plea deal, the state will recommend a 10-year state prison term at sentencing on June 6.

Of that sentence, White would have to serve eight and a half years before being eligible for parole, Hunterdon County Prosecutor Renée Robeson said.

White would also be required to register as a sex offender with the state and be on parole supervision for life.

He would additionally undergo a “psychosexual assessment” by a licensed professional within the state prison system in Avenel, Robeson said.
