A 51-year-old Fort Lee man has been charged with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child after he had engaged in sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl, authorities said Wednesday.
Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said Joey C. Lopez was arrested Tuesday after an investigation by Fort Lee police and detectives from the prosecutor’s Special Victims Unit.
The investigation started when a relative of the victim told police in Fort Lee what had happened, and police referred the case to the prosecutor’s office, Molinelli said, adding that detectives from both agencies interviewed the girl and she described to them in greater detail what had occurred.
