South Venice man sentenced for child molestation
Apr 27, 2019
A South Venice man with a history of violence toward women was sentenced Tuesday to the minimum mandatory jail time of 25 years for molesting a child under 12. He could have received life.
According to Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office reports, in February 2018 the victim was attending a party for one of Nicky Joe Pasquale’s kids. When the party ended, the girl asked Pasquale to call her father to pick her up, but he didn’t. Instead, he offered her a ride home and took the girl by the hand and led her to his car. He was driving her home when he pulled her toward him in the front seat and inappropriately touched the girl.
A jury found Pasquale, 45, a self defense and martial arts instructor, guilty of molestation and battery on Feb. 1. Pasquale was also deemed a sexual predator and was placed on the sexual offender registry.

SARASOTA (WWSB) - A Venice man faces at least 25 years behind bars for molesting a girl who had been invited to his home for his daughter’s birthday party.
After a five-day trial, Nicky Pasquale was convicted by a jury on Friday of lewd or lascivious molestation of a child less than 12-years-old and battery. He will be sentenced in March and faces a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison and could face a life sentence.
Prosecutors say last year, Pasquale held a birthday party for his child at his home. When the party ended, he volunteered to take a girl who attended the party back to her grandmother’s house. That’s when prosecutors say he molested the girl.
"Because the victim came forward immediately to report the abuse and bravely faced her abuser by testifying at trial, she has helped bring justice not only to herself, but also to every woman and child he has abused in the past," said Assistant State Attorney Ryan Felix, who prosecuted this case.
During the trial, the jury also heard from the victim's 14-year-old cousin, who said Pasquale touched her inappropriately a year earlier.
Prosecutors say Pasquale has a long history of violence against women and was on probation at the time of this crime for battering his girlfriend. He was also accused of sexually battering a 7-year-old girl in Germany in 2010.
He will be sentenced in March.
