The investigation began in July 2020 as Lissitz’s first victim reported being sexually abused at age six on two separate occasions.
Lissitz’s next victim, age seven, reported the abuse in September 2021, prompting the additional charges, investigators said.
Lissitz remained held in the Warren County Jail pending an initial court appearance.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victim’s Unit at (908) 475-6040 or (908) 475-6060.
