Old Bridge, NJ man posed as doctor to rape woman, cops say

OLD BRIDGE — A man is accused of pretending to be a doctor so he could lure a woman to his apartment at the Brynwood Gardens and rape her.

Orger Sibaja-Bolanos, 65, of Old Bridge was arrested on Thursday, July 21, according to Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone.

Ciccone said that a woman went to Sibaja-Bolanos's apartment the day before under the impression that he was a medical doctor. The woman thought she was going to receive medical treatment, according to Ciccone.

Instead, Sibaja-Bolano lured the woman to his bedroom, injected her with a "substance," and sexually assaulted her, Ciccone said.

Old Bridge police said its officers responded to a 911 call around 10:15 p.m. reporting the sexual assault.

Sibaja-Bolanos is charged with one second-degree count of sexual assault. He is also charged with third-degree counts of aggravated assault and unlicensed practice of medicine. He is currently being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center.

Old Bridge police said that Sibaja-Bolanos may also be known as Carlo or Carlos. They are asking for any other potential victims to come forward.

Anyone with information can reach out to Detective Jess Caffey with the Old Bridge police at 732-721-5600 ext. 3203. Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office Detective Kevin Schroeck is also available at 732-745-4194.

These are the best hiking spots in New Jersey

A trip to New Jersey doesn't have to be all about the beach. Our state has some incredible trails, waterfalls, and lakes to enjoy.

From the Pine Barrens to the Appalachian Trail to the hidden gems of New Jersey, you have plenty of options for a great hike. Hiking is such a great way to spend time outdoors and enjoy nature, plus it's a great workout.

Before you go out on the trails and explore some of our listeners' suggestions, I have some tips on hiking etiquette from the American Hiking Society.

If you are going downhill and run into an uphill hiker, step to the side and give the uphill hiker space. A hiker going uphill has the right of way unless they stop to catch their breath.

Always stay on the trail, you may see side paths, unless they are marked as an official trail, steer clear of them. By going off-trail you may cause damage to the ecosystems around the trail, the plants, and wildlife that live there.

You also do not want to disturb the wildlife you encounter, just keep your distance from the wildlife and continue hiking.

Bicyclists should yield to hikers and horses. Hikers should also yield to horses, but I’m not sure how many horses you will encounter on the trails in New Jersey.

If you are thinking of bringing your dog on your hike, they should be leashed, and make sure to clean up all pet waste.

Lastly, be mindful of the weather, if the trail is too muddy, it's probably best to save your hike for another day.
