John Armfield, 27 — also known as “Five” and “Peanut” — fled New Jersey in early May last year “after being confronted about the sexual assault allegations by family members of the victims,” Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said at the time.

Detectives from Molinelli’s Special Victims Unit and the Elmwood Park Police Department found him in Allentown, Pa.

Armfield, who is single and unemployed, is charged with two counts each of aggravated sexual assault and impairing/debauching the morals of a minor.

He remains held on $250,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail.
