The man was released and FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform after the “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.
Jersey City father charged with molesting 15-year-old daughter
(reported by NJ.com – June 2 2017)
A 42-year-old Jersey City man has been charged with molesting his 15-year-old daughter in her room on Sunday.
The man is charged with criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child. The charges are based on the girl’s videotaped statement to investigators and text messages she sent to her mother and a friend saying what her father allegedly did, according to the criminal complaint.
On Tuesday the girl told West District police and an investigator from the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency that her father got into her bed beside her, rubbed his body against her and “he continued by touching her…” the complaint says.
The father made his first appearance on the charges in Criminal Justice Reform Court in Jersey City on Wednesday via video ink from Hudson County jail in Kearny. At the hearing, he was ordered released with conditions of supervision pending prosecution.
