Santiago Quiaxan-Castro, a 37-year-old Guatemalan national, was arrested by members of Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella’s Special Victims Unit on Thursday, the prosecutor said.
Borough police had told them that Quiaxan-Castro allegedly “engaged in sexual penetration with a child under the age of 13 while in Palisades Park,” Musella said Friday.
Quiaxan-Castro remained held in the Bergen County Jail pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
He’s charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault by contact and child endangerment.
ICE hadn't yet issued a detainer Friday for a possible immigration hearing, records show.
