Two Ocean County men charged with robbery and sexual assault
A very bizarre story in the Asbury Park Press this morning. Two men have been charged with robbery and sexual assault after allegedly robbing a man at knifepoint and sexually assaulting him. The robbery and assault allegedly occurred earlier this month at a motel on Route 9. According to the article, two men held the motel guest down (another man) at knifepoint, threatened to kill him, stole $1,200.00 in cash, a cell phone and a wallet from the man, and sexually assaulted him. The defendants are charged with conspiracy, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, criminal restraint, terroristic threats, and illegal weapons possession. They are both being held at the Ocean County Jail in Toms River, New Jersey with bail amounts of $500,000 and $230,000 respectively.
It is very rare to see a robbery and a sexual assault committed by two men on another man. These charges are obviously extremely serious as you can see from the high bail amounts and both defendants are facing many years in jail if convicted of these crimes.
