Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced that on September 17, 2025, Darnell Williams, 34, of Manchester Township, was charged with Sexual Assault and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and Manchester Township Police Department revealed that in 2015, Williams sexually assaulted a minor female victim who was in his care in Manchester. As such, Williams was charged with the aforementioned offenses on September 17, 2025, and will be served with the charges at the Atlantic County Jail – where he is presently detained on three counts of Sexual Assault, three counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and three counts of Official Misconduct – all in connection with incidents that occurred in Atlantic County.
“Although the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office does not typically issue press releases in matters such as this due to their sensitive nature and out of respect for the victim’s privacy, this defendant previously held positions supervising minors in Atlantic and Ocean Counties – thereby necessitating this alert to the public. I urge anyone in possession of information concerning this investigation, or any additional information concerning this defendant’s conduct, to contact Detective Delaney Huber of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, extension 3218,” stated Prosecutor Billhimer.
Prosecutor Billhimer acknowledges the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Squad, Manchester Township Police Department Detective Bureau, Stafford Township Police Department, Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, and Hamilton Township Police Department, for their combined assistance in connection with this investigation.
The charges referenced above are merely accusations and the press and public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
