Rumson Police: Man Charged with Criminal Sexual Contact in Alleged 2022 Groping Incident

After the arrest of an Ocean County who allegedly groped a bartender at an unnamed Rumson restaurant last year, Rumson police have investigated, lodged criminal charges and turned the case over to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, police said.

An investigation into the alleged incident, led by Rumson Police Sgt. Daniel Campanella, “determined that the man groped a female bartender while she worked at a local restaurant on East River Road in October of 2022,” a released statement from police said.

The accused, Daniel E. Boswell Jr., 52, of Long Beach Township, Ocean County, has been charged with criminal sexual contact, a fourth-degree crime, via a complaint summons.

“That is all the information we have at this time since the case is now with the Prosecutor’s Office,” Sgt. Christopher Isherwood said in an email.
