Bensalem Police have charged Mohhamed Alam, 62, of Bensalem and believe there may be more victims

Police received a referral from a child welfare organization, which led to an investigation. Bensalem Detectives and members of the Bucks County Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) interviewed a juvenile female who stated Alam inappropriately touched her multiple times when she was between the ages of 7 and 11 years old.

In one of the incidents, she was at his home for a community event when he lured her into his bedroom, provided her candy from a candy jar in his bedroom, and had her get into a YOGA pose by forcing her to spread her legs while he touched her inappropriately.

During the same investigation, police identified two more victims.

A second juvenile female was interviewed, and she stated that between the ages of 5 and 8 years old, she was touched inappropriately multiple times by Alam in his bedroom after being given candy from a candy jar in his bedroom.

The third juvenile was interviewed and stated that she was assaulted by Alam on multiple occasions between the ages of 3 and 9 years old.

In one instance, Alam lured her into his bedroom, provided her candy from a candy jar in his bedroom, and had her sit on his lap as he touched intimate areas of her body.

She recalled that he was in a state of arousal while she was on his lap, police said.

Bensalem Police executed a search warrant at Alam's home, and recovered evidence that supported the juveniles' recollections of the assaults in his bedroom.

Alam turned himself in on Thursday and was charged with indecent assault and corruption of minors.

He was arraigned by District Justice Joseph Falcone and released after posting 10 percent of $100,000 bail.

Anyone who believes they may have been assaulted by Alam should contact Detective Brian Oliverio at (215) 633-3669 to make a report.
