A convicted sex offender who was released from jail earlier this year was arrested yesterday and charged with one count of 2nd degree sexual assault against a minor, said Prosecutor Theodore J. Romankow.
Eduardo Serrano DOB: 8/12/1967, of Elizabeth was released from prison in January, after having served nearly six-year prison sentence, said Romankow. In 2003 He was convicted of sexual assault against a minor for a case in Union County.
Last Month, according to the investigation, Serrano met a 14-year-old Elizabeth girl on the street, said Romankow. After speaking with the girl for a few minutes, he invited her to his house, promising her a tattoo. Once inside the apartment on the 600 Block of Livingston Street in Elizabeth, he then sexually assaulted the girl. |
She reported the incident to her mother who notified police. The Prosecutor’s Office launched an investigation and arrested Serrano on Tuesday at his apartment without incident.
Serrano is being held at the Union County Jail and Judge Douglas M. Fasciale set bail at $250,000.
This remains an active investigation and anyone who may have had contact with Serrano is asked to call Det. Andrew Cox of the Elizabeth Police Department at (908) 558-2013. |
