I'm sure they are collecting evidence and building a strong case against him. I hope they take as long as they need to build a concrete case against him and send this guy to jail. Fellow inmates are NOTORIOUSLY rough on cops and kid-touchers who get locked up. I hope they make this guy's ass look like the Holland Tunnel!

Does anyone know why the police have been at the house all day long? I heard there was an ambulence there a short time ago. Is there something else going on?

Shouldn't his mother be getting arrested here as well?

(From the Jersey Journal tonight - nj.com):

A 12-year-old Jersey City girl climbed out a second floor window and down the fire escape of a Colgate Street building last night to escape the clutches of a 33-year-old Jersey City man who held her hostage for two hours and has been charged with kidnapping, criminal restraint, and sexual assault, police said today.

The girl was not raped, but in New Jersey, a sexual contact charge is automatically upgraded to sexual assault when a minor is involved. The man tried to pull down the pants of the 12-year-old, but was unsuccessful, police said.

The girl, whom police did not identify, was riding her bike at around 7:30 p.m.when she was grabbed off the street by Luigi Pandolfo of 82 Colgate Ave., police said.

Pandolfo took the girl into a second floor apartment he shares with his mother at this address and handcuffed the girl, police said.

Pandolfo took the girl into a room and locked himself and girl inside, but the mother kept banging on the door, police said.

Fed up with his mother, Pandolfo, took the girl to an unoccupied house behind where he lives, police said.

Pandolfo then went back to 82 Colgate St.

Hearing the two arguing next door, the girl slipped out the handcuffs and out a second floor window. She climbed down a rear fire escape, got back on her bike, which was still on the sidewalk and rode home, police said.

Her mother called the police and cops went to 82 Colgate St. and arrested Pandolfo, police said.

I wonder if it was one of those children who are always on the corners between Colgate and first and second.

My husband came home from the store and saw all cops on colgate. The guy who grabbed the girl is so closed to a school. I was awake until 1 am last night and apparently this guy lives right around the corner from me and I heard nothing at all when he was getting arrested.

I live a few houses down from the incident. From speaking with my neighbors, apparently a guy kidnapped a young girl and sexually abused her. Fortunately she was able to get away and i hear she is ok, and he was arrested last night. They said he was a total hermit who spent his entire life in that house and never spoke to anyone. Then he started acting strange the past week or so. He actually asked me out of the blue if i wanted to take 1 of his new kittens last week when i was getting home late 1 night (he had like, 11 of them). Unfortunately i think he ended up dumping all of them in the woods. Had i known i would have brought them to Liberty Humane Society where i volunteer. :(

I am not trying to start rumors, but I believe there was a serious situation Saturday night where they brought out an 11 year old girl out of a basement on Colgate between 1st and 2nd. Apparently, she was being held there against her will. Police are parked in front of the house today.
