Francisco Peraza-Morales, of the 1500 block of 76^th Street, is charged with sexual assault, luring and child endangerment following his arrest yesterday.

Garfield police alerted Molinelli’s Special Victims Unit after the girl gave them a license plate number and a description of the man who stopped her, the prosecutor said.

Peraza-Morales, who is married and works at a Shop-Rite in Elizabeth, was being held on $75,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail pending a court appearance today.
