"During the course of the investigation, detectives learned of a disclosure made by an additional juvenile alleging sexual assaults that had occurred in the past."

The statement said that after further investigation, Guallpa-Guaman was found to have sexually assaulted another child under the age of 13 "on numerous occasions."

According to US News, New Jersey ranks as the fifth least dangerous state in the country. An analysis of FBI data from a law firm in New York was consistent with these estimates.

According to a new report done independently from the federal agency, it was found that the FBI underreported violent criminal activity in 2023. Less than 63 percent of across 65 percent of the population did not submit crime data.
