Couple Sentenced For Bizarre Point Pleasant Home Invasion

POINT PLEASANT, NJ — A California couple has been sentenced in a bizarre 2025 home invasion in Point Pleasant that started with one man hiring the woman as a prostitute, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said.

Jaheim Wilson, 24, and Oleyah J. Brown, 22, both of Stockton, California, were both sentenced to seven years in New Jersey State Prison for burglary in the Aug. 7, 2025, incident at a home on Barton Avenue, Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. These sentences are subject to the terms of the No Early Release Act, meaning Wilson and Brown are required to serve at least 85 percent of the sentence before reaching parole eligibility.

Wilson was also sentenced to five years - with a 42-month period of parole ineligibility - for unlawful possession of a weapon in connection with the incident, Billhimer said. The sentences are to run concurrently.

Wilson and Brown kicked in the door to the home shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 7 then took items belonging to the resident, the prosecutor's office said. Wilson also fired a handgun outside the home before the pair left, authorities said.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed in the case, the resident told police he was playing a video game when he heard the banging as the two tried to kick the door in. He closed a door separating the room he was in from the living room, which was connected to the kitchen, and called 911.
