New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin on Wednesday announced the new charges of first-degree aggravated sexual assault against Parrillo, and in doing so, again pleaded to the public for information about the man who sources previously told Fox News Digital is a skilled conman who is believed to have used different aliases to prey on women for decades.
Once inside the gas station, the woman bolted the door and told an attendant she had been kidnapped. Footage from the gas station’s security camera shows Parrillo following the woman to the gas station and attempting to open the door to the convenience store, before then leaving when he realized it was locked.
At that point, the woman told police she felt unable to leave the relationship, and Parrillo allegedly sexually assaulted her on different occasions and used threats of bodily injury to restrict her freedom. The woman said she had been held captive while the pair traveled across the country, before arriving in New Jersey in December 2022.Kira Moon went missing along the Pacific Crest Trail for months in 2018.
After eventually gaining his trust, Moon accompanied Parrillo on a trip into town for supplies, before making a mad dash for an urgent care clinic in a strip mall. Moon's sister said staff locked the door and called the police, but despite hospital records supporting the claim that Moon had been assaulted, authorities did not pursue a case against Parrillo.
Both Moon and Earick have since passed away. Online groups tracking Parrillo have resurfaced a July 1994 article in Orlando Sun Sentinel that details how a 28-year-old"James Parrillo," described as"an ex-convict and drifter from New Jersey," allegedly held nine captives at gunpoint aboard a $17 million yacht in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
