An Oakland man was charged with the sexual assault of two children, authorities said.

Leonel DeJesus-Alvarado, 36, was arrested Monday after a 911 call to Oakland police said a child under the age of 13 had been "sexually touched" at a home in the borough, the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.

Oakland police responded to the home and, after an investigation, arrested DeJesus-Alvarado on charges that he sexually touched one minor one time, and another minor on multiple occasions, the statement said. Authorities did not say whether the two minors were assaulted in the same home or when the other assaults occurred.
