GMA news network published an article citing ROLAND DELSEN as a Filipino nurse arrested on sex charges. The main reference of GMA news is northjersey.com and here's the summary of the article from that site.

On May 18, members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and the Bergenfield Police Department arrested Roland Densen, 38-year-old Bergenfield man, after learning that he allegedly engaged in inappropriate sexual activities with a juvenile male acquaintance.

The sexual abuse occurred over approximately a two-month period, the prosecutor said, and the victim had recently disclosed the abuse to his parents, who contacted authorities.

So I made a couple of researches and I found additional information and jailbase indeed identified that Roland Delsen is a Filipino. But I am still in doubt. If he is then this is another shameful issue next to the 30-year-old Filipino nurse — Jonathan Aquino — who was sentenced to jail after he was caught on a hidden camera attacking an 80-year-old Alzheimer's patient in the United Kingdom.

jailbase.com has the following info: 

Name: ROLAND DENSEN Get Notified Search for More Arrests View Source Individuals are Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Booked by Bergen County Sheriff's Office on May. 18, 2012 for Sex Crimes, Crimes Against Children
