An 18-year-old Morris Plains man is facing charges after allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old girl.

Duvan Camillo Agudelo of Stiles Avenue has been charged with second-degree sexual assault and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child. 

An affidavit signed by Detective Marshall Wang of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Sex Crimes/Child Endangerment Unit does not allege Agudelo physically forced the girl into sexual intercourse. But it states Agudelo is more than four years older than the girl, and that they both acknowledged a single encounter involving sexual intercourse that took place at Agudelo's home.
