Salem Police have made an arrest in connection with an alleged criminal sexual assault that occurred at a Salem man’s apartment early Monday morning.
Police took Aydan Morgan of Mills Crossing Apartments into custody later in the day Monday during a traffic stop after seeing him leave his apartment.
Police report a 17-year-old female juvenile had gone to the man’s apartment on her own freewill, but he allegedly committed sexual acts against her will. The female later called for a ride with those picking her up calling 911. The female was then taken to the Salem Police Station for questioning about the incident. Police say she later went to the hospital on her own.
After Morgan was taken into custody, a search warrant was conducted on his apartment. Salem Police report recovering some items in connection with the alleged assault along with two guns that resulted in an unrelated arrest for possession of a firearm without a fire owners ID card. Police say the weapons were not involved in the sexual assault case although the victim allegedly told police she knew Morgan reportedly had a gun in the apartment.
