Dover, Del. —

A Dover man is charged with sexually abusing two children in the late 80s and early 90s.

Odell L. Wright, 57, is accused of 46 sex-related crimes ranging from unlawful sexual intercourse to continuous sexual abuse of a child.

Police say a then-8-year-old victim, who is now 30, told detectives she was sexually abused when Wright lived with her family on Seven Hickories Road in Cheswold.

Another woman, 32, told investigators she was 10 years old when Wright sexually abused her at church functions in Felton where he was a deacon at the time.
