Bergen County Man Charged with Endangering Welfare of a Child for Inappropriate Sexual Activity

A Bergen County man was arrested Thursday for allegedly engaging in inappropriate sexual activity with a minor when she was between the ages of 6 and 11.

Olayo F. Matamoros-Anazco, 53, of Hackensack, was arrested after his alleged victim, now 13-years-old, “disclosed to a school guidance counselor what had occurred,” Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said.

“School officials notified the Hackensack Police Department, who then contacted the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, Special Victims Unit,” Molinelli said. Arrangements were made for the victim to be interviewed by a detective at the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office in Paramus.

During the interview, the victim provided specific details regarding what had occurred with Matamoros-Anazco, which resulted in his arrest.

Matamoros-Anazco was charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, according to Molinelli.

Bail was set at $200,000 with no ten percent option, no contact with the victim and the surrender of his passport as a condition of bail. He was remanded to the Bergen County Jail in lieu of bail.
