NJ man indicted for Palisades Mall sex assault


NEW CITY (AP) - A New York prosecutor says a man from New Jersey has been indicted on charges that he trapped a 7-year-old girl in a movie-theater bathroom and sexually abused her.

Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe says Elio Pintado of Summit, N.J., was charged with sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment and endangering a child.

The district attorney said Thursday that Pintado is seen on surveillance video Jan. 1 leaving the bathroom in the Palisades Center mall in West Nyack just before the girl leaves.

The 36-year-old Pintado is in custody in Union County, N.J., accused of trying to lure a girl into a car.

Neither the district attorney's office nor the Union County court had a record of a defense attorney.
