Police in East Hanover, NJ recently arrested a man who allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage girl at a local pizzeria.

The sex offense was allegedly committed on Christmas Eve. According to East Hanover police, the 32-year-old suspect committed the sexual assault against the 15-year-old victim at Giuletta & Romeo Pizzeria and Ristorante, an eatery located at 49 Eagle Rock Avenue in East Hanover, NJ.

Morris County prosecutors indicated that the suspect “engaged in acts of sexual contact and penetration” with the teen victim. Beyond that, the sexual acts were reportedly committed against the victim’s will; as a result, this is not a statutory rape case.
