WINSLOW — A church organist from Sicklerville has been accused of sexually assaulting five juvenile boys over a 30-year span, authorities say.

Joseph Cuthbert, 71, was arrested Sunday at his New Brooklyn Road residence and charged with five counts of aggravated sexual assault, Winslow police said.

Authorities learned of the alleged crimes after a victim came forward Sunday and told police Cuthbert began sexually assaulting him in September.

Detectives later identified four more victims who were allegedly assaulted by Cuthbert over three decades.
