A 50-year-old Upper Saddle River man was arrested Friday and charged with sexually assaulting a woman inside a Bergen County home on the Fourth of July, according to court records cited by investigators. Kazim A. Khan now faces two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and two counts of second-degree sexual assault following a months-long investigation.
Court records allege Khan sexually assaulted a woman who was helpless or incapacitated inside the home on July 4, according to DailyVoice.com. The first-degree charges stem from the allegation that the victim was helpless or incapacitated, while the second-degree counts involve force or coercion without severe personal injury, per the same outlet's report.
The case came to light after the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office contacted Bergen County's Special Victims Unit on Aug. 7 about an alleged sexual assault in Upper Saddle River, setting off a joint investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office and Upper Saddle River police. That inquiry culminated in Khan's arrest on Friday, Nov. 6, in Upper Saddle River, roughly four months after the alleged assault.
Court Appearance and Ongoing Investigation
Following his arrest, Khan was taken to the Bergen County Jail and appeared in Superior Court in Hackensack, where he was held pending a detention hearing. Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information has been asked to contact the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office tips line at 201-226-5532.
New Jersey's sexual assault statute, N.J. Stat. § 2C:14-2, includes language addressing victims described as helpless or incapacitated, the language reflected in the charges against Khan.
A Separate Bergen County Case
Khan's arrest follows a separate case out of Wyckoff, where Abdalwali A. Alsaidi was charged in September with two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, two counts of second-degree sexual assault, and one count of third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact, according to NJ.com. Authorities said Alsaidi sexually assaulted an adult victim in Wyckoff between July 6 and July 7, 2025, with the Wyckoff Police Department alerting the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit the following day. That investigation, described by NJ.com as lasting 14 months, ended with Alsaidi surrendering to authorities and being remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending a first appearance in Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack. The two cases are separate matters, and the available evidence does not establish any broader pattern connecting them.
