Five
New Jersey college students have been arrested for the imprisonment and rape of a
female classmate. Apparently the young woman was forced to perform sex acts on each of the men in a darkened
campus dorm room, then blocked from leaving the residence.
MailOnline: Five
students have been charged with sexually assaulting a woman and keeping her
captive in a darkened dorm room at a New Jersey University. The
female student reported last week that she was attacked at accommodation at the
William Paterson University and then held against her will.
According
to the criminal complaint, the five men turned out the lights and used
‘physical force or coercion’ to attack the victim at the Overlook South
residence hall.
They
then forced her to perform multiple sex acts before they stopped her from
leaving the room.
Now
five men, who all lived in university residences, have been arrested and are
scheduled to appear at Superior Court in Paterson today.
Court
documents show that the five men arrested were Noah Williams, Garrett Collick ,
Termaine Scott, Jahmel Latimer and Darius Singleton, who all studied at the
University.
The
men, who are all 18, are facing a range of charges from kidnapping to
aggravated criminal sexual contact, and bail has been set at $200,000 for each
suspect.
According
to the Record, who obtained the complaint to police, Latimer is accused of
pulling the woman by the hair and forcing her to perform sex acts.
The
other four men are alleged to have conspired to commit sexual assault,
restrained another person unlawfully and exposed them to risk of serious bodily
injury.
The
school’s president Kathleen Waldron confirmed that all five of the accused
lived at the university and have been ‘barred from campus’.
In
a statement she added: ‘My deepest concern is for the victim of this criminal
act who has courageously stepped forward to take legal action and seek justice.
‘No
expression of anger or sadness on my part can alleviate the harm done to the
victim and my heart goes out to her and her family.’
