New Jersey man arrested after allegedly physically and sexually abusing two children

A Bergen County man was charged with child endangerment and sexual assault Friday after prosecutors said he physically and sexually assaulted two children, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Milton Guallpa-Guaman, 45, of Rochelle Park was charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, the office said.

On Wednesday, the district attorney’s office and Rochelle Park police opened an investigation after the Division of Child Protection and Permanency referred a suspected child abuse case, authorities said.

After the investigation, authorities alleged that Guallpa-Guaman physically abused a child under the age of 13. Investigators said they discovered a second alleged victim under the age of 13 during the investigation into which Guallpa-Guaman is accused of multiple sexual assaults.

Guallpa-Guaman was arrested Friday and is being held in the Bergen County Jail pending his initial court appearance. An attorney for Guallpa-Guaman was not immediately listed Friday afternoon.
