BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 A 62-year-old township man has been charged with sexually assaulting three children between the ages of 3 and 11 years old after he lured them into his bedroom with candy, police said.<\/p>\n
Bensalem Police have charged Mohhamed Alam, 62, of Bensalem and believe there may be more victims<\/p>\n
Police received a referral from a child welfare organization, which led to an investigation. Bensalem Detectives and members of the Bucks County Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) interviewed a juvenile female who stated Alam inappropriately touched her multiple times when she was between the ages of 7 and 11 years old. <\/p>\n
In one of the incidents, she was at his home for a community event when he lured her into his bedroom, provided her candy from a candy jar in his bedroom, and had her get into a YOGA pose by forcing her to spread her legs while he touched her inappropriately. <\/p>\n
During the same investigation, police identified two more victims. <\/p>\n
A second juvenile female was interviewed, and she stated that between the ages of 5 and 8 years old, she was touched inappropriately multiple times by Alam in his bedroom after being given candy from a candy jar in his bedroom. <\/p>\n
The third juvenile was interviewed and stated that she was assaulted by Alam on multiple occasions between the ages of 3 and 9 years old. <\/p>\n
In one instance, Alam lured her into his bedroom, provided her candy from a candy jar in his bedroom, and had her sit on his lap as he touched intimate areas of her body. <\/p>\n
She recalled that he was in a state of arousal while she was on his lap, police said.<\/p>\n
Bensalem Police executed a search warrant at Alam’s home, and recovered evidence that supported the juveniles’ recollections of the assaults in his bedroom. <\/p>\n
Alam turned himself in on Thursday and was charged with indecent assault and corruption of minors. <\/p>\n
He was arraigned by District Justice Joseph Falcone and released after posting 10 percent of $100,000 bail. <\/p>\n
Anyone who believes they may have been assaulted by Alam should contact Detective Brian Oliverio at (215) 633-3669 to make a report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 A 62-year-old township man has been charged with sexually assaulting three children between the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[191,193,192,194],"class_list":["post-13644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bensalem","tag-bensalem","tag-bensalem-headlines","tag-bensalem-news","tag-bensalem-township"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
