John Ramirez, 31, remained held in the Bergen County Jail following his arrest on Wednesday, Feb. 16.
Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said members of his Special Victims Unit began investigating after being alerted by Englewood police.
They determined that Ramirez, who is married and unemployed, “sexually assaulted the child, who was younger than 16 years old, in Englewood on more than one occasion,” he said.
Altogether, Ramirez was charged with three first-degree counts of aggravated sexual assault on a victim between 13 and 16 years old, as well as single counts of aggravated criminal sexual contact and child endangerment through abuse or neglect.
A judge will determine whether he should remain held or be released pending trial following a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
