Prosecutor: Armed New Jersey Man, 28, Accused of Abducting and taking advantage of a Woman

A 28-year-old New Jersey man is facing a long list of serious criminal charges after prosecutors say he abducted and sexually assaulted a woman during a violent incident that began on a college campus.

According to authorities, the attack occurred in a parking lot at the County College of Morris in Randolph. Prosecutors allege the suspect approached the woman while armed with a handgun and forced her into his vehicle against her will. Investigators say the victim was restrained inside the car as the suspect fled the area.

Law enforcement agencies later located the vehicle, leading to a police pursuit that ended in Andover Township. When officers stopped the car, they found the woman still inside, restrained but alive. She was immediately transported for medical treatment and evaluation.

The suspect, identified as a 28-year-old man from Union County, has been charged with multiple offenses, including kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, carjacking, unlawful possession of a weapon, and related crimes. Prosecutors described the incident as a targeted and violent act, emphasizing the severity of the allegations.

Officials credited coordinated police work for bringing the situation to an end and rescuing the victim. Authorities have not indicated that there are additional victims at this time, but the investigation remains ongoing.

The accused is being held pending court proceedings. Prosecutors have stated they will seek to keep him detained as the case moves forward through the judicial system.
