Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli didn’t specify what 26-year-old scrap metal collector Pedro P. Liranzogomez is accused of doing.
The charges — criminal sexual contact and child endangerment — under state law would indicate nothing physical.
“The victim told her mother what had occurred and she contacted the Garfield Police Department, who then notified the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit,” he said.
In a subsequent interview with an SVU detective at his office, the girl provided specific details regarding what had taken place with [Liranzogomez],” Molinelli said.
Port Authority police took him into custody, the prosecutor said.
An arraignment was set for this coming Tuesday.
