William Sanchez-Monllor, 36, of Burlington Township, N.J., has been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault, two counts of sexual assault, and one count of endangering a child.
According to NJ.com, Sanchez-Monllor, who has been a Trenton police officer since 2010, was taken into custody at the Burlington Township Police Department on Tuesday.
