Airmont Man Charged With Sex Crime Against Child In New Jersey

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — An Airmont resident has been charged with aggravated sexual contact in connection with an assault of a child in the past, Bergen County prosecutors said Friday.

Andrew Villafuerte, 33, was arrested Feb. 28 and charged with three counts of third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said that on Jan. 16, 2024, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit was contacted regarding the alleged sexual assault of a juvenile. An investigation conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Milford Police Department determined that Villafuerte had "sexually assaulted a child in the past, in New Milford, NJ."

On Wednesday he was taken to the Rockland County Jail pending extradition to Bergen County for a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, prosecutors said.

It was the second time in a week that a Rockland County resident was charged in Bergen County over a past alleged sex crime against a child. John Mark Dillon, 60, was arrested Feb. 26 and charged with aggravated sexual assault.
