A Northern Valley Regional High School student charged in an alleged sexual attack at an after-prom party in Seaside Heights has posted bail.
Matthias Masimba Kabete, 19, of Norwood, was released from Ocean County Jail on Friday after posting $125,000 bail, said Jay Mutter, senior probation officer for the criminal case management office at state Superior Court in Toms River.
Kabete, a native of Zimbabwe attending the Old Tappan school on a student visa, was arrested last week and charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact, according to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
He is accused of sexually attacking an unconscious 18-year-old girl in the early morning hours of June 5 at an after-prom party in a motel in Seaside Heights, prosecutors said.
The prom was held on June 4 in Mahwah.
Kabete has been assigned a public defender, said Tom Rosenthal, spokesman for the state Office of the Public Defender.
