A Monmouth County grand jury voted to indict a Howell man after he allegedly sexually assaulted a child while in Freehold Borough.

Earlier this year, Kyle Riker, 25, of North American Drive, was arrested by Freehold Borough Police after he allegedly had sexual intercourse with a 12-year-old child.

Following his arrest, an indictment was handed down by a grand jury on Friday, Sept. 7. Riker was charged with sexual assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

According to the indictment, Riker had assumed responsibility of the child during the time of the incident. His alleged action classifies the child as an abused or neglected child.
