Police: Man threatened to release naked photos of teen if she didn't have sex with him

MORRISTOWN — A 32-year-old man told a teen girl that unless she had sex with him, he would release naked photos and videos he secretly took of her, according to court records.

Carlos S. Fuentes-Perez, of Morristown, was charged with sexual assault, child endangerment, invasion of privacy and criminal sexual contact in connection with his alleged abuse of the girl when she was between 15 and 17 years old.

The teen, along with a witness contacted Morristown police Saturday to allege Fuentes-Perez sexually assaulted her between January 2016 and November 2017, according to records made public Tuesday in Superior Court, Morristown.

Fuentes-Perez, court records show, invaded the teenager's privacy by photographing and videotaping her in secret and then threatened to publicly release the naked images if she didn't have sex with him.
