Two teenage girls say they were sexually assaulted at the Mountain Lakes Preserve between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, according to police.
Two men served alcohol to the girls, police said. Then, according to officers’ interviews with the victims, each girl was sexually assaulted after she reached a certain level of intoxication. The girls are 15 and 16 and are residents of Princeton and Cranbury.
