Man Sexually Assaulted Woman He Met Online In Cinnaminson: Cops

CINNAMINSON, NJ - A 22-year-old Roebling man has been arrested in the sexual assault of a Philadelphia woman he met online earlier this week.

Jerrell Manson, of Roebling, is accused of luring the woman to Cinnaminson after meeting her on an online dating website, Cinnaminson police said Thursday evening.

Manson met the woman in the East Riverton section of the township on Monday night, April 15, and convinced her to get into his car and take a ride. That ride turned into a nightmare for the woman, as Manson drove her to a secluded area and forced her to have sex with him, police said.

He then threw her out of the car, leaving her in a wooded area with no cell phone, keys or identification, police said. The woman was able to flag down a passer-by and called 911. She was then taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Cinnaminson Detective Geoffrey Chiumento interviewed the victim at the hospital and was able to get the location based off her statement, police said. He went to the area of Taylors Lane and River Road, where he was able to find some of the items that Manson had thrown out of his car as he fled the area, police said.

On Wednesday, April 17, Cinnaminson police were able to identify Manson through his profile on the dating website. They contacted him and lured him to Cinnaminson, as he believed he was on his way to meet another victim, police said.

Once he arrived, he was surrounded by undercover officers and arrested without incident, police said. Police found the woman’s license inside the car, police said. They believe he may have sexually assaulted another woman under similar circumstances on Edgewater Park last year.

Manson was charged with second-degree sexual assault. He was remanded in Burlington County Jail on a warrant awaiting a detention hearing.
