Jason Hinton, 41, was arrested and charged with allegedly sexually assaulting a girl for over 8 years – beginning at age 4 – is now FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform after the “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.

Hinton was convicted in 2014 for endangering the welfare of a child and was sentenced to parole for life. Hinton’s new charges consist of four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child under age 13; four counts of aggravated criminal sexual contact; one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 16 but more than 13 years old; three counts of impairing or debauching the morals of a child and one count of causing a child harm making them an abused or neglected child.

Hinton’s pretrial release restrictions include…

  • no contact with victim
  • appearance at all court dates
  • no new criminal activity
  • no “excessive” use of alcohol or drugs
  • do not possess a weapon

Another “validated pretrial risk assessment” Failure.

A man has been charged with sexually assaulting a girl over an eight-year period, beginning when the girl was just age 4, according to court records.

Jason Hinton, 41, allegedly committed the assaults from 2008 through 2016 at different addresses in Pennsville, Penns Grove and Carneys Point, according to the complaints signed against Hinton.

Hinton, 41, was arrested on Friday.

At the time of his arrest, Hinton was already serving parole supervision for life for an Aug. 21, 2014 conviction of endangering the welfare of a child, court records say.

In this latest arrest, he is charged with four counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child under age 13; four counts of aggravated criminal sexual contact; one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 16 but more than 13 years old; three counts of impairing or debauching the morals of a child and one count of causing a child harm making them an abused or neglected child, according to court records.

Hinton appeared Wednesday before Superior Court Judge Benjamin C. Telsey in Salem for a probable cause and detention hearings.

According to Salem County Assistant Prosecutor Jonathan Flynn, the girl told a school worker of the alleged attacks which led to police being called. A police statement read at the hearing also said she wrote about the alleged attacks in a journal.
