A Robbinsville man acquitted of sexual assault in 2014 has been charged with luring for trying to get a young girl into his vehicle in Trenton, authorities allege.

Darren Maglione, 47, was arrested Friday morning for an incident that occurred Monday, the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office said.

At about 11 a.m. Monday, a man driving a black Porsche Cayenne pulled alongside a 5-year-old girl in the Prospect Village apartments and told her to "hop in the car."

The girl said no, but the man persisted, repeating the line, "hop in the car," the criminal complaint against Maglione says.

Two adults witnessed the interaction and one walked over and took the girl by the arm and the Porsche drove away. The witnesses were able to get some of the characters from the license plate, the prosecutor's office said.

Trenton police responded and alerted prosecutor's detectives, and they were able to connect Maglione to the incident, and the sports car, the office said.

Maglione was acquitted at trial in 2014 of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old West Windsor girl in 2009. The jury was hung on an endangering the welfare of a child charge, but prosecutors declined to prosecute the case further.

The case and trial made headlines at the time.

Prosecutor's detectives arrested Maglione at his home Friday with assistance of a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force.
