Dante J. Hickson, 24, of Palmyra, was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a drunken woman while she slept.
Accordingly to the complaint, the victim was “highly intoxicated” after a night of drinking with her roommates. After her roommates helped her into bed, the victim awoke, between 4 and 5 am, to find Hickson standing at the foot of her bed. The covers had been removed and her pajama pants and underwear were around her ankle.
After a sexual assault examination, DNA taken from the victim matched that of Hickson.
After his arrest, Hickson was later released and FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.
