A 17-year-old boy was arrested for molesting a sleeping Rutgers University student at a dorm room on the school’s Livingston Campus in Piscataway, officials said Monday.

The teen, whose name was not released because of his age, was charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact, criminal sexual contact and burglary for the early Sunday attack, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.

Authorities said the teen “gained entry” to Quad 2 on the Livingston Campus and had unwanted sexual contact with the sleeping student in her dorm room around 7:40 a.m.

When the student woke up, the assailant ran away, police told NJ Advance Media.

In a statement, Rutgers University police said the teen, a South Brunswick resident, was arrested Monday. An investigation was ongoing.

Anyone with information can call investigators at 732-932-7211 or 732-745-3711.
