ENGLEWOOD — A Guatemalan man is being held in Bergen County Jail on charges he sexually abused a 15-year-old girl at bible study and threatened to kill the girl's mother when she confronted him about the abuse, according to police.
Luis Perez, 31, an illegal immigrant, is being held on $75,000 bail on charges of criminal sexual contact, endangering the welfare of a child and transmitting obscene materials to a minor.
According to Englewood Capt. Timothy Torell, the mother of a 15-year-old girl told detectives that Perez inappropriately touched her daughter while they were alone together at bible study class. For the next three months, Perez would touch the girl in a sexual manner and send her lewd material, Torell said.

When the mother learned of the alleged incidents and confronted the man, Perez said he would kill her, according to Torell.
Immigrations Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been notified of Perez's arrest, Torell said.

Police did not have further details on the house of worship where the bible study class was held.
