(CNN) -- Investigators in Vermont charged the uncle of a missing 12-year-old girl Sunday with sexually assaulting a minor -- but they said the charge does not involve his niece. Police said their investigation into the disappearance of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett uncovered evidence that her uncle had sexually assaulted someone else. Police charged Michael Jacques, 42, with aggravated sexual assault against a minor. The charge carries a sentence of 10 years to life in prison. Jacques is listed as a registered sex offender in Vermont. Vermont State Police Col. James Baker said Monday that investigators are considering that there may be "more victims of sexual abuse"  by Jacques.
