NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A New Jersey man has been charged with sexually assaulting two minors who attended a social event at a home over the weekend, Somerset County Prosecutor John McDonald said Wednesday.
Marcelo D. Schonhauser, 45, faces two counts of second-degree sexual assault by sexual contact and two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor in the assaults. He is being held at the Somerset County jail.
The prosecutor's office was contacted by the Bedminster Township Police Department about an 8-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted on March 4 while attending the gathering at the Bedminster residence, authorities said.
On Monday, detectives learned of an alleged sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl at the same social event.
Investigators interviewed both victims, who both disclosed being sexually assaulted by Schonhauser, prosecutors said.
