Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Prospect Park Police Chief William Rausch announced the arrest of a South Hackensack man accused of committing multiple explicit offenses involving a minor.
According to a statement released by the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office, 21-year-old Torin W. Halvorsen was taken into custody without incident on October 1, 2025, following an investigation by the Prospect Park Police Department.
Authorities allege that in September 2024, Halvorsen engaged in unlawful explicit acts with a minor between the ages of 13 and 15 in Prospect Park. 
Investigators also say one of the encounters was recorded.
Halvorsen faces several charges, including endangering the welfare of a minor, explicit contact, luring, and possession of explicit material.
The case remains under investigation, and officials urge anyone with additional information to contact the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.
