A 78-year-old Union City man charged with sexually assaulting three girls over a 15-year period is facing a fourth count after authorities say he sexually abused a girl when she was as young as 3 years old.
The girl, who is now 19, was touched by Carlos Menjivar at a birthday party in 2004, and she told family members two days later at a Christmas gathering where Menjivar was present, the criminal complaint said. At the time, family members decided not to report it to the police.

“On December 4, 2020 Aiesha McFadden was walking home to the store while accompanied by her daughter. At around 8:30pm Esha was inappropriately touched and she was obviously offended and made it known,” the Facebook description says.
“The harasser then shot Esha twice right in front of her daughter who stayed with her until she was pronounced dead at Jersey City Medical Center. Esha’s children will have to live with this memory for the rest of their lives, meaning they need therapy. Dazania, Esha’s oldest daughter a college student will now have to raise her siblings, the youngest of them 8 years old.”
