Police hunt Megan’s Law fugitive accused of sexually assaulting Englewood sisters

ANOTHER CVP SCOOP: Five months after he was originally charged — and a week after being indicted on charges of sexually assaulting two teenage sisters — a convicted Megan’s Law offender from Englewood remained a fugitive this morning.

Jesus H. Restrepo, 49, fled in September after learning that Englewood detectives had obtained a warrant for his arrest on first-degree sexual assault charges for what they said was a pair of incidents nearly eight years apart.

An indictment returned by a grand jury in Hackensack last week accuses Restrepo of digitally penetrating a 14-year-old girl’s vagina between November 2002 and February 2003 and with rubbing her sister’s thighs in 2010, when she was 13, after he’d been released from prison.

It also charges him with two counts of impairing the morals of a child.

Restrepo — who has a criminal history spanning more than 20 years and including aggravated assault on a police officer — failed to report as a Megan’s Law offender after being sentenced to lifetime community supervision, the indictment says.

He also failed to reside in an approved residence, it says.

Authorities asked that anyone who sees Restrepo, or knows where to find him, call Englewood police: (201) 568-4875. All calls will remain confidential, they said.
