HARRINGTON, Del. (AP) - Court documents say an early childhood education aide in Delaware already charged with sexually assaulting two girls has been accused in two more cases.

The News Journal reports the new allegations against 28-year-old Head Start aide Timothy K. McCrary are contained in an indictment handed down by a Kent County grand jury earlier this month.

McCrary remains in custody at the Howard Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington. Online records show he has a court hearing scheduled for next month. They do not list an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

The indictment says the victims under the age of 7 were assaulted at Telamon Head Start's Harrington program.

The facility said in a statement that it is devastated by the situation and is supporting the investigation.
