Jose Camacho, 40, was being held on $50,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail, charged with child endangerment, Bergen County Prosecutor John J. Molinelli said.

“The Hackensack Police Department learned of the incident and notified the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit,” Molinelli said. “Arrangements were then made for the victim to be interviewed.”

During the interview at Molinelli’s Paramus office, “the victim provided specific details regarding what had occurred,” the prosecutor said.

Camacho, who Molinelli said is single, is to be arraigned this coming Wednesday.
