MANCHESTER TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- A former Hamilton Township Board of Education employee accused of sexually assaulting a young girl is facing more charges.

Darnell Williams, 34, was first arrested last month after police say he touched a 7-year-old girl inside his vehicle after taking her from an event at William Davies Middle School in Hamilton Township. According to a criminal complaint, the girl told investigators she was touched while sitting on Williams' lap in the car.

Since the initial arrest, two additional victims in Atlantic County have come forward. A fourth victim has now alleged that Williams molested her in Manchester, Ocean County, in 2015.

Williams remains behind bars at the Atlantic County Jail.



The Hamilton Township School District said Williams was placed on administrative leave as soon as the investigation began and was terminated before the end of the last school year.
