The case background …
A joint investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and the Howell Township Police Department was launched in November of 2018 after the Howell Township Police Department received a report that Young inappropriately touched a juvenile victim while inside his business. Following the defendant’s arrest on Nov. 9, 2018, five additional adult victims, who were customers and employees, disclosed Young had also inappropriately touched them at the business.
