Alan Carrino Jr., 42, was arrested in Paramus and charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal said in a statement.

A woman contacted the prosecutor’s office on Jan. 25 and told them Carrino sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions in 2003 and 2004 when she was ages 12 and 13, Grewal said.

After his arrest, Carrino was taken to the Morris County Jail, where he was held pending an arraignment scheduled for Friday in Bergen County, Grewal said.
