Five William Paterson University Students Arrested for Sexual Assault of Female Student

Five William Paterson University students have been arrested in connection with the sexual assault of a female student.

The alleged assault took place in a residential hall on campus Nov. 25, according to a letter sent to students signed by William Paterson University President Kathleen Waldron.

“I am angry and dismayed that this crime was committed on our campus and allegedly by students,” Waldron stated.

NJ.com has identified the men as Noah Williams of Camden, Tremaine Scott of Vineland, Darius Singleton of Jersey City, Garret Collick of Paterson and Jahmel Latimer of Hoboken, all 18-years-old.

The men have been “barred from campus” and their prosecution is being handled by the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office, according to the letter.

The alleged assault comes just weeks after a Ramapo College female student was sexually assaulted by two men. Three other students, including a Wayne native, were later arrested in connection with the crime.

“William Paterson University - its students, faculty, staff, and board of trustees - is horrified by this alleged sexual assault,” Waldron said in the letter. “...We are committed to ensuring that William Paterson University will always be a place where students feel safe and sound.”
