Criminal sexual contact charges were brought against a Lyndhurst man. It is alleged that late last week the defendant drove by a young woman jogging and slapped her in the buttocks. Thereafter, he drove away. The next day he supposedly tried to make small talk and then grabbed the woman by the buttocks/groin area. Thereafter he again fled the scene. The suspect faces two separate charges of criminal sexual contact at the Bergen County Superior Court.
