A Jersey City man has been charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl at his apartment earlier this year after he met her online, authorities said.
Yesterday, members of the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit arrested Ali Ibrahim, 19, of Jersey City, on charges relating to the sexual assault of a teenage girl he met online, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said in a statement.
The crimes occurred at Ibrahim’s Jersey City apartment in January and February of this year when the victim was 13 and 14 years old.
Ibrahim is charged with second-degree sexual assault and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child. He was remanded to the Hudson County Correctional Facility pending his first court appearance.
The prosecutor’s office has filed a detention motion, which is tentatively scheduled to be heard on March 4th.
Suarez credited the Special Victims Unit with the investigation and arrest. Anyone wishing to report a sex crime should call the HCPO SVU at 201-915-1234.
