Julio Peralta-Aguilar, 47, of 1st Street was being held on $250,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail, charged with aggravated sexual assault and child endangerment.

The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and Cliffside Park police arrested him after the girl “disclosed what had occurred to her mother, who took the child to Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck to be examined,” Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said today.

The Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) and Cliffside Park police were contacted and Molinelli’s investigators notified, he said.

During an interview, the girl — who knew Peralta-Aguilar — “provided specific details regarding what had occurred,” Molinelli said.

Peralta-Aguilar was ordered to surrender his passport as a condition of bail. An arraignment was scheduled for this Thursday.
