Robber broke into NJ motel and raped woman, cops say
A 31-year-old Keyport man has been accused of raping a woman at gunpoint in a motel in Tinton Falls.
Around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Tinton Falls police officers responded to a call from a local motel, where a woman said that an armed man had entered the room and sexually assaulted her while threatening to rob her.
Kareem Lee was arrested and charged with first-degree counts of aggravated sexual assault while armed with a weapon and robbery, Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey announced late Monday.
Lee was being held at the Monmouth County Jail pending a detention hearing in Monmouth County Superior Court on Wednesday.
He did not have an attorney listed as of Tuesday.
