Cops say Hackensack man gave child alcohol, assaulted them

HACKENSACK, N.J. — A 38-year-old Hackensack man has been arrested following an investigation into the repeated sexual assault of a juvenile, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella announced Wednesday.

Alfredo F. Ingasicha was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and three counts of fourth-degree sexual assault by contact.

The charges stem from incidents that occurred on multiple occasions between December 1, 2024, and February 3, 2025, in Hackensack. Prosecutors allege that Ingasicha not only sexually assaulted the juvenile but also provided the child with alcohol.

The investigation was conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit in coordination with the Hackensack Police Department.

Ingasicha was remanded to the Bergen County Jail following his arrest. No further information has been released as the case proceeds through the judicial process.
