NORTH CAPE MAY- On September 18 a female reported a sexual assault to the Lower Township Police Department that occurred here on September 14.
The victim advised that she had a social gathering at home earlier in the evening. The gathering ended and she retired for the evening only to be awakened at approximated 4:00 a.m. by a male sexually assaulting her while she was in bed.
As she awoke and became aware of what was happening she began resisting the male and he left the home without further incident.
The male had been a guest at the social gathering earlier in the evening.
It has yet to be determined if he remained behind after the gathering or re-entered the home after leaving.
After an investigation by Patrol Officers and Detectives the suspect was identified as Donald T Arndt, an 18 year old male from North Cape May.
Mr. Arndt was arrested and charged with sexual assault and lodged in the Cape May County Jail in default of $25,000.00 cash bail.
The incident was investigated by Officer Robert Smith and Detective Joseph Boyle.

Yes, there was definately alcohol involved here. Perhaps this woman came to out of a black out from drinkingl? You can move around pretty good in a black out. You are not asleep in a black out. You just do not remember what you do or say Also, I heard that the police were called to this residence earlier in the evening.

I was at a high school party and my friend was drunk and he was talking to a girl that was drunk. The two decided to have sex, they both consented. However, the next morning, I guess the girl regreted it, and accused my friend of rape. He was arrested, booked, but was found innocent... but the damage was already done. He has to carry that on his back for a very long time. I guess what I am trying to say is that these situations need to be handled delicately. The guy always gets the bad wrap in these situations (I'm not saying the guy in this one wasn't a ***), but when there is alcohol involved things need to be looked at a little more thouroughly.

further investigation is needed. There are witnesses who state that she knew he was there and begged him to stay. Where is the investigation before charging a young man with a serious charge like this. ***

9/19 @ 2:51, so by your reasoning because the lady had been drinking (not sure the truth to it, just your statement) she deserves to be assualted or even should expect it. Somebody ought to follow your perfect life and take advantage of you the first time you slip up, then tell us if it simply is stupid is as stupid does.
