Atef “Alex” Shenouda, a married, 44-year-old deliveryman, remained held on $100,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail this afternoon following his arrest Friday on child endangerment charges.
“The principal of the child’s school learned of the incident and brought the child to the school nurse who observed the bruising,” Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said this afternoon.
“The principal contacted the North Arlington Police Department who then notified the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, as well as the Division of Child Protection and Permanency,” he said.
The child was interviewed by investigators from Molinelli’s Special Victims Unit at the Audrey Hepburn Children’s House in Hackensack, during which “specific details” of being struck “several times in the leg and back” were disclosed, the prosecutor said.
A judge ordered Shenouda, of Rutherford Place, not to have any contact with the child or the youngster’s family and to surrender his passport.
