Bergen Corrections Officer Sexually Assaulted Girl Multiple Times, Prosecutor Says

A Bergen County corrections officer is accused of sexually assaulting a girl multiple times when she was 12 and 13 years old, said Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal.

Alan Carrino Jr., 42, of Lyndhurst, was arrested Thursday after authorities were contacted the previous week by a woman who told the prosecutor's office Carrino sexually assaulted her multiple times in 2003 and 2004 when she was between 12 and 13 years old, Grewal said.

Carrio is a corrections officer with the Bergen County Sheriff's Department.

Authorities investigated and arrested Carrino in Paramus, the prosecutor said. He was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault in the first degree and endangering the welfare of a child, Grewal said.

Carrino was lodged in the Morris County Jail pending arraignment. He was scheduled to appear in Bergen County Central Judicial Processing Court Friday afternoon, Grewal said.
