A Rome man has been arrested for the sexual assault of two young boys.
Both boys were under 13, one being under the age of 5.
Timothy Waite, 39, is accused of touching the boys and making them touch him inappropriately. The crimes took place 6-7 years ago.
The complaint was submitted from Bradford County Children and Youth in August 2021.
One boy said he lived with Waite, who would ask him to come to his room at night to touch each other, and the other described two times Waite exposed himself.
The boys said at the time they did not know what was happening was wrong.
One told his dad and the other realized it from online learning. Both were able to cut communication with Waite.
Waite has been charged with indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age, corruption of minors, and indecent exposure.
