On November 9, 2022, the Fairview Police Department contacted the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit regarding the alleged sexual assault of a child. An investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and the Fairview Police Department revealed that EDDY CHOCOJ sexually assaulted a child between the ages of 4 and 11 years old on multiple occasions in Fairview, NJ.

CHOCOJ was remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending his first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, NJ.
