The Middlesex County Prosecutor's office says a former youth pastor has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a 12-year-old boy on numerous occasions more than a decade ago.

Police say 46-year-old Jeffrey Mackintosh was arrested Thursday night at his Phillipsburg home.

He faces charges of sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

Prosecutors say the child victim, who is now an adult, contacted the Perth Amboy authorities on July 5 to report the abuse.

Investigators say that Mackintosh, now a computer technician, had allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted the boy in the year 2000, while serving as youth pastor at the Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church.

He is no longer affiliated.
