A Burlington County home caregiver was arrested and faces additional charges after an investigation revealed additional instances of sexual abuse against an impaired teenage girl. 34-year-old Edmondo DiPaolo of Pemberton Township has been additionally charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He initially had been charged with aggravated sexual assault, attempted aggravated assault, and endangering the welfare of a child. The new charges come after investigators reviewed nearly 200 hours of video recorded at the girl's home. The 15-year-old teen has a neurological disorder and is immobile, partially blind, and unable to speak. She is fed and medicated through tubes. DiPaolo worked as a private duty nurse in the girl's Southampton home for about 5-months. He was initially charged in March 2020. A statement from police said that the girl suffered a broken femur while he "was harshly adjusting her position prior to sexually assaulting her." "DiPaolo also pushed her face into a pillow, squeezed her throat and shoved a stuffed animal into her mouth to restrict her breathing," it continued. DiPaolo was arrested at his home on the 100 block of Daniels Avenue on Thursday, 3/11. He was released after making an appearance in Superior Court on Friday, 3/12.
