New Jersey man charged with sexually assaulting two children under 13

A northeastern New Jersey man was arrested on suspicion of sexually and physically assaulting two children under the age of 13, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said Friday.

Milton Guallpa-Guaman, 45, of Rochelle Park, was arrested in Paramus, west of New York City, following an investigation led by Musella and Rochelle Park police.

According to authorities, the Bergen District Attorney’s Special Victims Unit was contacted Wednesday by the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency regarding the alleged abuse of a minor.

An investigation then led authorities to Guallpa-Guaman, who they said “physically abused a child under the age of 13 in Rochelle Park.”

Further investigation revealed that he had also sexually abused another child under the age of 13 “on numerous occasions,” the office said.

The relationship between Guallpa-Guaman and the victims was not disclosed.

Guallpa-Guaman was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

He is currently being held at the Bergen County Jail awaiting his initial appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
