BLACKWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- A 13-year-old boy has been arrested, after he allegedly made unwelcome sexual contact with five different women in southern New Jersey.
The boy was charged with sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault, lewdness and harassment in the incidents, CBS Philadelphia reported. His name was not released as he is a minor.

• On Feb. 18, the suspect approached a woman as she cleared snow off her car, grabbed her buttocks, and tried to kiss her before she screamed and he ran away;
• The same day, the suspect came up to another woman walking, grabbed her buttocks and tried to kiss her, before she screamed and he ran away;
• On Feb. 20, the suspect came up to a woman going into her apartment and grabbed her buttocks, before she yelled at him and he ran off;
• After seeing a police community alert, a woman said a suspect had approached her and rubbed her shoulders inappropriately at some point in December, before she yelled at him and he ran off.
The boy was being held at the Camden County Juvenile Detention Center Monday night, CBS Philadelphia reported.
