A grand jury indicted a man Thursday in the rape of a 7-year-old girl he was left to watch in her Brigantine home.
James Ward, now 31, was arrested Dec. 30, following a two-year investigation.
Ward was indicted on two counts of aggravated sexual assault, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child for having sexual contact with the girl, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child for showing explicit pornographic video to the child, according to Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner.
