The brother of Jesse K. Timmendequas, the man who raped and murdered 7-year-old Megan Kanka in 1994, was arrested yesterday afternoon on charges that he sexually assaulted two girls in a North Brunswick home, prosecutors said. Paul Timmendequas, 34, was charged with aggravated sexual assault, aggravated sexual conduct and two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, Robert Corbin, the acting Middlesex County Prosecutor, said at a press conference. Mr. Corbin said that the girls were 15 and 12 years old, and that the older girl was related to Mr. Timmendequas either by blood or marriage and that she may have been in his care at the time. The attacks occurred just before dawn on Monday, and Mr. Timmendequas was arrested yesterday morning at his home in East Brunswick, the authorities said. ”I’m not calling either incident a rape,” Mr. Corbin said. ”The investigation is still continuing.” He said, however, that aggravated sexual assault implies vaginal penetration.
