Man Arrested for Sexual Assault of Child Police in New Jersey have arrested a man accused of kidnapping a nine-year-old girl from a family barbecue and sexually assaulting her. A state police spokesman says 44-year-old Joseph Polizzi was a "guest of a guest" at the July 13th barbecue at a Vineland home.

He allegedly grabbed the girl from a swimming pool while everyone was distracted by another guest's apparent heart attack.

Authorities say he then took the girl to his home, before driving elsewhere and assaulting her. She was eventually dropped off at a gas station.

Polizzi was sought by authorities for several days before surrendering early yesterday morning.
