Randolph NJ Sexual Assault AttorneysPolice recently busted a tattoo parlor manager who allegedly committed a sex crime against a 13-year-old girl in Randolph, NJ.

According to officials, the 34-year-old suspect tried to have sex with the underage victim.

The suspect allegedly communicated with the victim via text messages, which were later discovered by police. During one conversation, the suspect reportedly attempted to arrange a meeting with the underage girl.

The investigation into the suspect began after local police were tipped off to the possible sexual offense. An individual called the Randolph Police Department and alerted authorities of a sexual assault.

Police investigated the allegations against the suspect and interviewed the victim, who said that the suspect picked her up in his vehicle and drove her to the parking lot of the Long Hill library. Authorities believe that the sex crime happened in the parking lot.

The suspect was placed under arrest and charged with several sex offenses, including luring, criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child.

If the suspect is ultimately convicted of the most serious crimes, he would be subject to significant penalties. As set forth by N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2, anyone convicted of using physical force to commit an act of sexual penetration can be charged with a second degree felony. A conviction for second degree sexual assault could lead to a sentence of 5-10 years in NJ State Prison.

After being arrested and charged, the suspect was transported to the Morris County Jail in Morristown, New Jersey. He managed to secure his release from police custody by posting $75,000 bail.
