Camden County Prosector Announces Lengthy Prison Term

Camden County Prosecutor,  Grace MacAulay, announced in a release that an Atco man will have to serve up to 80 years in prison for crimes he committed against his girlfriend's daughters.

31-year-old Kevin Mottas was convicted in July on "two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, five counts of second-degree sexual assault, and six related charges."

Former Boyfriend of Mother Convicted

Authorities say that Mottas was living with his girlfriend in the summer of 2015 when he began abusing her daughters who were six and seven at the time.

Prosecutors said the abuse continued over five months, and Monttas threatened to harm them and their mother if they told anyone.

Neither sister knew the other was being abused.

The abuse came to an end in November of that year.

In 2019 the children informed their mother of the abuse.  At that time the mother contacted authorities.

Montas Convicted of Additional Charges

In addition to the sex charges, Mottas was also convicted of two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, two counts of hindering apprehension, and two counts of terroristic threats.

He must serve at least 67 years in prison before being eligible for parole.

Retired Captain Fawn Landay of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office led the investigation in this case.
