Another Groping Incident Reported In Princeton: Police

PRINCETON, NJ — One woman could no longer stay silent. After reading about groping incidents involving other women recently, an unnamed woman recently approached the Princeton Police Department to report a groping incident in which she was the target last summer.

In that incident, she said she was walking on the 100 block of Spring Street in June of last year when a Hispanic man grabbed her from behind, Princeton police said on Tuesday. She said he ran up behind her and grabbed her buttocks with both hands before fleeing in the same direction from which he had come.

She reported the incident on June 5, after reading reports of recent similar incidents. It was previously reported that a woman was groped while she was walking on Spruce Street on May 26. That incident also involved a possibly Hispanic man, who grabbed the unidentified woman’s buttocks.

The man in that incident is described as standing between 5’6” and 5’7” with short hair. He was wearing a brown leather jacket and khakis.

There was also a reported groping on on Moore Street and Spruce Street on Wednesday night, April 12, at about 7 p.m. Once again, the incident involved a Hispanic male. He is described as standing about 5'8," with brown hair, brown eyes and a stocky build. A composite sketch of the man involved in that incident can be found here.
