Stewart Ryan, Esq. - NJ Abuse Guardian
Hi - I'm Stewart. I am an attorney that practices in New Jersey and I am a former sex crimes prosecutor. I worked on the the team that prosecuted Bill Cobsy. Trust me with your case, and I promise to not let you down.
On October 2, 2024, a Bethlehem man was sentenced to five years in New Jersey State Prison for sexually assaulting two minors between October 2021 and January 2022. Garry Bunting, 33, pleaded guilty to charges of endangering the welfare of a child and sexual assault.
Judge Jonathan Romankow handed down the sentence, which requires Bunting to serve 85% of his prison term before becoming eligible for parole. The victims, aged 11 and 16 at the time of the crimes, were known to Bunting.
The Warren County Prosecutor's Office conducted a thorough investigation, which included:
Investigators were also looking into a separate case involving Bunting, which included:
However, the criminal complaint records show that the trafficking charge was recalled in 2022.
This case highlights the severe consequences of child sexual abuse and the importance of protecting minors from predators. The sentence reflects the gravity of Bunting's crimes and serves as a deterrent to potential offenders.
Stewart Ryan, Esq., a seasoned attorney at Abuse Guardians, provided the following commentary on the case: "The sentencing of Garry Bunting underscores the justice system's commitment to protecting our most vulnerable citizens. A five-year prison term, with the requirement to serve 85% before parole eligibility, sends a strong message to would-be offenders. However, it's crucial to remember that the impact on the victims often lasts far longer than any prison sentence. As a community, we must remain vigilant and continue to support survivors of sexual abuse while working tirelessly to prevent such heinous acts from occurring in the first place."
