Two Rutherford men were charged Saturday with sexual assault and criminal sexual contact with a 16-year-old boy.
Richard Amato, 32, of 10 Ayre Place was arrested about 9 p.m. Friday at his business, Big Rich’s Music at 114 Park Ave., and was being held on $20,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail, said First Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Paul Brickfield.
John Capodanno, 36, of 346 Union Ave. was arrested about 4 a.m. Saturday at his home, but posted the $20,000 bail and was released, Brickfield said.
Rutherford police detectives and the Bergen County Sex Crimes and Child Abuse Unit are investigating, Brickfield said, declining to discuss the case further.
Brickfield said the investigation of Amato and Capodanno is unrelated to that of another Rutherford man, Charles W. Confer Jr., 30, of 53 Feronia Way, whose case is now before a grand jury.
Confer was charged March 3 with two counts of sexual assault on a minor after two youths reported incidents a day earlier to police.
He was being held on $50,000 bail. Authorities at the jail would not confirm whether he was still there.
