Both of the alleged assaults happened in Raritan, investigators said.
A man accused of sexually abusing two minors in Somerset County was arrested earlier this month in Texas, officials announced Friday.
A family member of a 12-year-old girl reported on June 19 that the girl had been sexually assaulted in Raritan by a man, authorities said. The Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Sex Crimes/Child Abuse Unit identified the accused assaulter Friday as Janakiraman Somasundaram, 41, of Celina, Texas, according to a release from the office.The girl told detectives she was sexually assaulted by Somasundaram three times when she was between the ages of 8 and 11, the office said.
On June 23, a second minor, an 15-year-old girl, was identified as another potential victim of Somasundaram’s alleged abuse in Raritan, authorities said. Somasundaram, who had relocated to Texas, was charged with three counts of sexual assault by sexual contact, two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and one count of criminal sexual contact, officials said. He was apprehended at his home on July 5 by local police.
He waived extradition from Texas and was taken to Somerville on Tuesday where he was lodged in the Somerset County Jail pending his detention hearing, the office said. Attorney information for Somasundaram was not immediately available.
