⭕ Sex assaults in convict's home

A 52-year-old Pine Hill man will spend the rest of his life in prison after being sentenced to well over a century for repeatedly raping a senior woman.

Adam Natal was sentenced on Thursday to an aggregate term of 157 years in state prison.

He was convicted months earlier of 56 counts of second-degree sexual assault, among other offenses.

In October, the now 75-year-old victim testified at trial that the assaults were ongoing from November 2017 until March 2022 at Natal’s own borough home.

The victim told police that she was raped, at times more than once a day, once Natal’s wife left for work, according to an affidavit of probable cause for Natal.

Police recovered multiple videos of the frequent sex acts, which included oral sex and intercourse.

There was at least one sex assault on March 5, 2022, according to Natal’s initial criminal complaint.

Days later, local middle school officials contacted police.

Natal's teen son had found one of the videos on his laptop and reported the assaults of the victim to law enforcement, the affidavit said.

Natal claimed to police that the sex was consensual and held onto that story once incarcerated.

He violated a restraining order and sent his wife harassing postcards from jail, trying to get her to get the victim to take back statements made to police, according to the same court documents.

A jury in Camden County Superior Court convicted Natal of the multiple counts of sexual assault — as well as aggravated assault, aggravated assault on a victim of domestic violence and two counts each of invasion of privacy and witness tampering — all third-degree offenses.

He was additionally found guilty of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.

Under the No Early Release Act, Natal would have to serve 127 years before being eligible for parole, Camden County Prosecutor Grace MacAulay said.
