MOUNT HOLLY — A deacon at a Pemberton Township church was charged with sexually assaulting a girl during a church service Sunday morning.
He also molested the child in a separate incident last fall, authorities said Friday.
Joseph V. Pullen Jr., 59, of Whispering Pines Boulevard in Pemberton Township, was charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child for the alleged assault at the Calvary Baptist Church, Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi and township police Chief David H. Jantas said Friday.
Pullen, a deacon at the Scrapetown Road church, was alone with the girl at the time of the incident, authorities said. They would not release any information about the victim.
