NEW BRUNSWICK — A youth minister at a church in Franklin Township has been charged with sexually assaulting two teenaged girls in separate incidents, Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey announced Wednesday.
Shawn Butler, 48, of Hillsborough, was arrested at a relative’s home in Millsboro, Delaware by members of the Delaware State Police Troop 7 on April 3, according to a statement released by Carey, South Brunswick Police Chief Raymond Hayducka and North Brunswick Police Director Kenneth McCormick.
Carey said Butler, a youth minister at the Eternal Life Christian Center, was charged with one count of sexual assault and two counts each of criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child.
The prosecutor said police began the investigation after a 15-year-old girl contacted South Brunswick police in July.
