A man from Newark is facing multiple charges, including child sex charges, after police found mummified remains in a closet in his home.

Robert Williams, 53, is due for an initial court appearance Friday.

According to the Essex County prosecutor's office, Newark police investigated after receiving reports that Williams had been abusing a 13-year-old child for several months.

A search of Williams' home last Thursday uncovered the human remains stuffed in a bin in a closet.

Investigators also saw an object believed to be an altar to an unknown religious deity.

Williams has been charged with multiple crimes, including aggravated sexual assault, child endangerment and desecration of human remains.

It's not known if Williams has an attorney who can comment on the charges.
