Roderick Knox was arrested Friday night at work. The 44-year-old Egg Harbor Township resident faces sexual assault and child endangerment charges and was being held on $350,000 bail at the county jail.
Prosecutors say Knox committed various sex acts with a minor last August, and the victim reported the incidents to child welfare officials. A subsequent investigation by the prosecutor's office uncovered another alleged victim who said she was assaulted in 1995.
It was not known Saturday if Knox had retained a lawyer. He could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
Fire department officials declined comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
