An illegal immigrant in New Jersey reportedly has been charged with sexually assaulting nine girls under the age of 8 — and prosecutors fear there could be more victims.

Cirilo Cholula, 18, faces nine counts of child endangerment and aggravated sexual assault against girls ranging in age from 4 to 7 years old, The Star-Ledger reported.

Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford told The Star-Ledger that authorities began investigating Cholula after parents of one alleged victim told police they suspected he had molested the young girl.

The illegal Mexican immigrant, who the prosecutor’s office said knew all the alleged victims, was arrested Tuesday night and was being held on $1 million bail, according to the paper.

Ford believes more victims could be out there and asked parents to notify authorities if they think their children may have had inappropriate contact with Cholula.

OCEAN COUNTY -- Authorities in Ocean County today said they charged a Lakewood man with sexually assaulting nine young girls.

Cirilo M. Cholula, also known as Cirilo Moranhel-Cholula, 18, was charged with nine counts of aggravated sexual assault and child endangerment, said Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford and Lakewood Police Chief Robert Lawson.

The children range in age from 4 to 7 years old, authorities said.

Ford said the investigation started on June 13 when family members of one of the alleged victims contacted Lakewood police with a suspicion that Cholula had molested their young daughter.

Lakewood police arrested Cholula, an undocumented resident, after spotting him on the street Tuesday night, said Deputy Chief Michael Mohel, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office. He said Cholula knew the victims but would not elaborate on their relationship because details may identify the girls.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities were advised of the arrest and a detainer has been filed against Cholula.

Cholula is being held in the Ocean County Jail in Toms River on $1 million bail.

Ford encouraged parents who suspect their child may have had inappropriate contact with Cholula to call the special victims unit of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office at (732) 929-2027 or Lakewood police at (732) 363-0200.
