Christian Felipe would face a mandatory five to 10 years in state prison if convicted only of the sexual assault charge that was filed by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Special Victims Unit following his arrest at his home last week.
They also charged Felipe with criminal sexual contact and child endangerment, however, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez noted.
“The investigation found the defendant met the victim at a West New York park prior to the assault,” the prosecutor said.
Felipe remained held at the Hudson County Correctional Center in Kearny.
