On Tuesday, July 22, 2026, at approximately 7:57 a.m., members of the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit were notified that an 11-year-old child had reported that she had been sexually assaulted in Bloomingdale the previous evening. The investigation revealed that the suspect, who was 19-years-old at the time, had committed several acts of sexual penetration against the child. Nasir Sharrock was identified as the assailant and a warrant was issued, charging him with the above crimes.
