South Jersey Man Accused of Molesting Children at Late Wife's Daycare Center

By David Madden

 

WILLINGBORO, N.J. (CBS) -- A Willingboro man is in custody, charged with molesting two children in a daycare center his wife had operated out of their home.

Dennis Alston, 54, is being held in lieu of $300,000 bail after a probe indicated problems at Home Sweet Home, the daycare center his wife ran out of their Timber Lane home.

"We were approached by one of the parents of one of the children at the daycare center who indicated that, after speaking with her child, she learned that her child had been sexually assaulted by Mr. Alston on more than one occasion," says Burlington County prosecutor Robert Bernardi.

Alston's wife passed away earlier this summer.  A probe found two kids in that family allegedly molested, and Bernardi fears there may be additional victims.  Parents with concerns should contact Willingboro police or Bernardi's office.
