Bergen County authorities have arrested a married U.S. Air Force serviceman for allegedly engaging in a sexually explicit Internet chat with what he thought was a 14-year-old girl, according to County Prosecutor John Molinelli.
Members of the Bergen County Computer Crime Task Force arrested William Carrasquillo, 30, of Brown Mills, N.J., at his home Thursday morning.
“Carrasquillo initiated sexually explicit dialog and instructed the 14-year-old girl to masturbate at his direction,” said a statement from the Prosecutor’s Office.
Carrasquillo was released on $25,000 bail and ordered not to use the Internet. He will be arraigned in Hackensack Superior Court Friday on charges of attempted child endangerment and attempted sexual assault, authorities said.
Molinelli said Carrasquillo used screen name Awildwill82279@yahoo.com and urged anyone whose child communicated with that account to contact investigators.
Carrasquillo is a technical sergeant at McGuire Air Force Base and remains on active duty, according to Angel Lopez, a base spokeswoman.
"If convicted of the alleged offenses, his chain of command will be responsible for taking appropriate disciplinary action to include a decision on whether or not he will remain in the Air Force," Lopez said.
"We take the safety and well being of our community very seriously. However, the vast majority of today's Airmen are principled individuals who uphold our core values of Integrity, Service and Excellence," she added.
