Atlantic City’s Mayor Marty Small Sr. is expected to cruise to reelection — but will go on trial for allegedly abusing his teenage daughter next month, which could prevent him from taking office.
The beleaguered Dem is facing a challenge from Republican Naeem Khan, a Garden State native and businessman who is seeking office because of “how badly [Atlantic City] is being managed,” according to his campaign website.
If he wins as expected Tuesday, Small, 51, will be sworn into court on Dec. 1 — facing a slew of abuse charges — before he takes office in January.
He will appear in court alongside his wife La’Quetta Small, Newark’s superintendent of schools, in connection to several caught-on-video incidents in which they allegedly beat and choked their 16-year-old daughter unconscious.
In one December 2023 incident, Small beat his daughter unconscious with a broom, a belt, and his fists while the teen was on a video call with a boyfriend the parents disapproved of, court documents alleged.
“Don’t make me hurt you!” Small allegedly yelled in one clip.
In another recorded incident from Jan. 7, 2024, La’Quetta Small was recorded choking and punching her daughter in the mouth, according to court documents.
The couple were each charged with endangering the welfare of a child and disorderly persons’ simple assault, with Small Sr. facing additional charges of terroristic threats and aggravated assault.
