A former Hamilton Township schools supervisor was arrested Thursday for an alleged sexual assault, police said.

Darnell Williams, 34, of Whiting in Manchester Township, Ocean County, is also charged with endangering the welfare of a child and official misconduct.

"As a district, we are committed to the safety, security and well-being of every student and take allegations regarding employee misconduct seriously," Hamilton schools Superintendent Jeffrey Zito said in a statement. "As soon as the district was made aware of an investigation into alleged unlawful behavior by Mr. Williams, the District immediately placed him on administrative leave, cooperated with police, and thereafter terminated Mr. Williams."
