Asbury Park Man Convicted Of Sex Assault Of 2 Teen Siblings

ASBURY PARK, NJ — An Asbury Park man who was convicted for sexually abusing two juvenile siblings over the course of several years was sentenced Friday.

Walter Orlando Perez-Ramos, 35, of Asbury Park, was previously convicted for the crimes at trial last fall.

He was sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison, and must serve at least 85 percent of the first 16 years before becoming eligible for parole.

On May 3, 2021, Asbury Park Police first received information regarding the abuse of the two victims, then ages 16 and 17.

However, the inappropriate touching had been happening for the past five years, meaning it started when they were 11 and 12. Police say the abuse involved dozens of incidents taking place on various dates from May 2015 through May 2020, each involving inappropriate touching.

MCPO Special Victims Bureau Director Danielle Zanzuccki handled the prosecution, while Perez-Ramos was represented by George J. Mardinly, Esq.

Perez-Ramos was convicted on two counts of second-degree sexual assault, two counts of third-degree child endangerment and a single count of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.

He has to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law and is subject to parole supervision for life upon his release.
