Internet Predator Nabbed
South Hackensack detectives again helped the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office apprehend a child predator on the internet.
The suspect, a 29 year-old male from Stanhope, was arrested on July 20 after exchaning explicit messages with an undercover detective posing as a 14 year-old girl. He was captured when he came to South Hackensack to meet the “girl.”
He was charged with luring, attempted sexual assault and attempted endangering the welfare of a child. He was also accused of having several online conversations with the undercover South Hackensack detective, and that the suspect arranged a meeting “for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity.”
