Somerset County Man Charged In Sexual Assault of Girl, 11: Reports

A 19-year-old North Plainfield man has been charged for the sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl whom he told authorities was his girlfriend, reports say.

According to My Central Jersey, an affidavit filed in Superior Court said Roberto Amaya told authorities he had sexual relations with the girl in his basement apartment on Sept. 14. The affidavit also says the 11-year-old girl told authorities they also had sexual relations on Aug. 15.

Amaya has since been charged with first-degree sexual assault.
