Halfway House Worker Sexually Assaulted Multiple Residents In South Jersey: Prosecutor

BRIDGETON, NJ — A man who worked at a South Jersey halfway house sexually assaulted multiple residents, according to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office (CCPO).

Brian K. Taylor was a house manager for the Kintock Group in Bridgeton. Authorities found he used his supervisory position to force and coerce two victims into sexual acts.

Taylor, 30, of Vineland, was charged Thursday with multiple sex offenses.

In August, the CCPO's Special Victims Unit was notified about a sexual assault against a male resident at the facility. The prosecutor's office and Bridgeton police identified a second victim during the joint investigation.

Taylor was charged with two counts of each of the following:

• second-degree sexual assault
• second-degree sexual assault by force or coercion
• third-degree aggravated sexual contact

He was placed in the Cumberland County Jail, and prosecutors will move to keep him detained as legal proceedings play out.

The Kintock Group helps people transition from incarceration to everyday life in halfway homes throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae thanked the organization for cooperating with authorities.
