A Woolwich man has been charged in a historical sexual assault case, according to local authorities.
The accused, who has been identified as a local music director, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and sexual interference.

The accused has been released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on May 5.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about this case or any other potential victims to come forward and speak with police.
The accused’s name is being withheld to protect the identity of the victim.
