BENSALEM, Pa. (WPVI) — A Bensalem <\/a>man is facing charges after authorities say he lured three children with candy before he allegedly sexually assaulted them.<\/p>\n

Mohhamed Alam, 62, surrendered to police on Thursday. He’s facing charges of indecent assault and corruption of minors.<\/p>\n

According to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, the victims are three girls between the ages of 3 and 11 years old.<\/p>\n

The investigation began back in December after police were notified by a child welfare organization.<\/p>\n

According to the criminal complaint, one victim told police Alam inappropriately touched her from 7 to 11 years old. During one incident, the victim said she was at his house for a community gathering when he lured her into his bedroom, gave her candy and forced her to spread her legs.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint states the second victim said Alam also provided her with candy and inappropriately touched her from 5 to 8 years old.<\/p>\n

Detectives said Alam used a similar tactic on the third victim and is accused of assaulting her between the ages of 3 and 9 years old.<\/p>\n

Neighbors are disturbed by what police say happened inside Alam’s house on Kingston Way.<\/p>\n

“It’s crazy to think it’s happening right next door to where we live, and we had no clue,” said Michael Rimer.<\/p>\n

“They do have people come over all the time, and there’s always little kids driving, riding their bikes out front,” added Ashley Armstrong.<\/p>\n

Police said Alam was released after posting 10% of his $100,000 bail.<\/p>\n

Police are concerned there may be more victims. Anyone looking to speak with police about this case is asked to contact Detective Brian Oliverio at (215) 633-3669.<\/p>\n
