SOUTHAMPTON Authorities have filed additional charges against a 34-year-old man accused of raping a severely disabled teen girl while he was employed as her at-home caregiver.
Edmondo DiPaolo, of Pemberton Township, has been charged with first degree aggravated sexual assault, second degree sexual assault and two counts of second degree endangering the welfare of a child, according to Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina.
Law enforcement reviewed nearly 200 hours of footage that revealed additional abuse during the five months that DiPaolo worked as caregiver for the girl, who was 15 at the time, within the family’s township home, Coffina said.
The victim has a neurological disorder, is immobile, partially blind, unable to speak and is fed and medicated through tubes, according to the prosecutor.

The new charges were made in connection to the same girl, authorities said. They were filed after law enforcement reviewed nearly 200 hours of footage that authorities say showed additional abuse during the five months when DiPaolo was working as the girl’s caregiver in her family’s Southampton home.
