ENGLEWOOD, NJ.- Last Friday, following a swift-moving investigation into alleged child sex crimes, a 60-year-old Englewood, New Jersey, man was taken into custody and jailed after being charged in connection with allegedly sexually assaulting a teen on multiple occasions in Englewood, New Jersey.
According to Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella, on Thursday, December 5, 2025, the Englewood Police Department contacted Detectives of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit after the Police Department received a report alleging the sexual assault of a juvenile that had occurred in Englewood, New Jersey.

During the ensuing investigation, Detectives of the Bergen County Special Victims Unit, in conjunction with the Englewood Police Department, quickly determined that Mauro Alves-Ribeiro, 60, of Englewood, New Jersey, sexually assaulted and endangered the child in an Englewood, New Jersey, residence on more than one occasion in the past.
Detectives further uncovered that Alves-Ribiero attempted to hinder the investigation by telling the teen to delete multiple text message conversations between him and the teen victim that were sexually explicit in nature.
Accordingly, on Friday, December 5, 2025, Alves-Ribiero was taken into custody without incident and formally charged with four counts of second-degree Sexual Assault; third-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child; third-degree Hindering an Investigation; and one count of fourth-degree Criminal Sexual Contact.
Alves-Ribiero was processed on the charges and was remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending future court proceedings in Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack, New Jersey.
