The victim, a 12-year-old girl, told investigators that she was sexually assaulted at a home on Linden Avenue in Bound Brook.

The investigators then sat down with the girl. She told them that she met a man through social media who then “arranged transportation” to his house.

Galvan was arrested a year later on July 26, 2022. McDonald said DNA evidence helped prove Galvan sexually assaulted the victim.
