PARAMUS, N.J. (1010 WINS) — A 28-year-old man has been charged with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, reportedly after his friend's wife caught the suspect allegedly assaulting their 2-year-old daughter at their home.
According to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, the Little Ferry Police Department contacted their office on Jan. 1 regarding an alleged sexual assault of a victim under 13, who then launched an investigation into the allegations in coordination with the department.
Eventually, officials determined that Franklin Gomez-Paredes allegedly sexually assaulted the victim.
He was arrested that same day in Paramus, NJ, and charged with first-degree attempted aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault by contact and and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Authorities told The Daily Voice that Gomez-Paredes was chased out of the child's home early Saturday morning after the girl's mother allegedly spotted the suspect "on top of the naked child."
The prosecutor's office said Gomez-Parades was due to make his first court appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, NJ.
