After investigating the reports of an intoxicated, freshman girl performing a sex act on a senior at the Tiger Inn, one of Princeton University’s eating clubs, the Princeton Police Department has closed the matter. “After conducting a thorough investigation that included the interviewing of all involved parties, the police department found no evidence to support criminal wrongdoing and we have closed the investigation with no criminal charges,” reads a statement issued Friday afternoon. “The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office was consulted in this matter.”
The police department had been investigating whether there was an invasion of privacy. Princeton University has not yet concluded its own investigation of the matter. Since the eating clubs are private property, they fall under the jurisdiction of the local police.
Last October, a photo taken of the act was circulated by email to club members by the club treasurer. New Jersey law dictates that it is a criminal offense to distribute a photo of a sexual act without the person’s consent. The club treasurer and another officer have since stepped down.
