The Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes announced the arrest of a 58-year-old Paterson man accused of sexually abusing a 3-year-old.
Ray Perry has been charged with sexual assault and child endangerment.
Perry, who reportedly knew the child, was seen by a witness "sexually touching" the child in the area of Jasper Avenue yesterday, prosecutors said. The witness alerted police initiating the investigation.
Perry was arrested last night.
