JERSEY CITY — A northern New Jersey father faces sexual
assault, child abuse and endangerment charges for allegedly raping his two girls
after they were returned to his custody from foster care.
The Jersey
Journal reports that the 35-year-old Jersey City resident, whose name is
being withheld to protect his daughters’ identities, began raping the girls when
one was 5 and the other 7.
The attacks came to light this week after a therapist treating one of the
girls notified New Jersey child protective services.
The newspaper cites court documents saying the girls, now 12 and 14, both
reported being fondled and raped by their father for years since being returned
to his custody from foster homes in 2006.
The father did not speak during a court appearance Thursday in Jersey City.
