A 45-year-old Voorhees man was arrested and charged yesterday for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman on the PATCO High Speedline according to a statement released by officials.
The investigation into this matter began when a 22-year-old woman, whose identity is not being released, reported she was assaulted by an unknown assailant while riding the Speedline.

Mr. Arcano was charged with first-degree Aggravated Assault, Sexual Assault, Aggravated Sexual Contact and Criminal Restraint on February 5, 2018.
Arcano was arrested by the Delaware River Port Authority in South Philadelphia and is awaiting extradition to the Camden County Correctional Facility pending a pretrial detention hearing. At this hearing, the court may order he be detained or release under Criminal Justice Reform.
