Bergen County Man Charged With Sexually Abusing Child More than a Decade Ago

A Bergen County man was arrested Sunday for allegedly engaging in inappropriate activity with a child more than a decade ago.

David C. Polkowski, 32, of Dumot was arrested by members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and the Elmwood Park Police Department after his alleged victim contacted police, according to Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli.

The victim, now 27-years-old and no longer residing in New Jersey, reported to Elmwood police that Polkowski engaged in inappropriate sexual activity with her while she was between the ages of 5- and-15-years-old. Detectives interviewed the victim and she described to them in greater detail what had occurred, which resulted in Polkowski’s arrest.

Polkowski was charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.

Bail was set at $200,000 with no 10-percent option and no contact with the victim as a condition of bail. Polkowski was remanded to the Bergen County Jail in lieu of bail.
