Arrest In Lakewood Orthodox Woman's Assault
Ocean County prosecutors have made an arrest in the abduction and sexual assault of an Orthodox Jewish woman in Lakewood.
The woman was snatched from a parking lot outside her health club in May and was released behind the building the next morning.
Police originally investigated the possibility that the incident was related to several attempted abductions of younger girls in a largely Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York.
But Lakewood police Captain Robert Lawson said after consulting with New York City police, authorities didn't believe the incidents were necessarily related.
Prosecutors plan to announce details of the arrest during a news conference in Toms River Wednesday.
