Pennsauken man is charged with sexual assault

A 49-year-old Pennsauken man who allegedly claimed he was in the modeling industry has been charged with sexually assaulting a teenage boy, authorities said Tuesday.

Joseph Sheets met the boy several months ago and gave him a business card, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and Pennsauken police said.

Sheets is accused of sexual interactions with the youth, whom officials said Sheets photographed and filmed partially nude. Sheets was being held in the Camden County Jail Tuesday on charges including sexual assault and criminal sexual contact.

Anyone with information regarding the case or other inappropriate activity involving children has been asked to call Pennsauken Police Detective Brian Polaski at 856-488-0080, Ext. 2403. - Darran Simon
