Perv secretly follows man back to NJ home and breaks in for sex assault, police say

🔴 Atlantic City man accused of sexually assaulting two unconscious men.

🔴 DNA evidence and a shocking video helped link the suspect to the crimes, police said.

🔴 Investigators believe there may be more victims across New Jersey

BRIGANTINE — Investigators say they're looking for more victims after charging an Atlantic City man with the sexual assaults of two unconscious men.

Dwayne Martin, Jr., 35, was arrested on Tuesday in Egg Harbor City, according to the Brigantine police.

He's being held at the Atlantic County jail on multiple charges, including:

🔴 first-degree aggravated sexual assault,
🔴 first-degree aggravated sexual assault during a burglary,
🔴 second-degree sexual assault,
🔴 third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact,
🔴 third-degree burglary, and
🔴 fourth-degree evidence tampering.

Martin is accused of two sexual assaults on separate victims last year, police said.

Video evidence leads to shocking discovery

The first sexual assault happened on Aug. 20, 2024, police said.

Investigators said they found a video on one of Martin's electronic devices of him performing a sex act on an unconscious male victim in a vehicle.

Detectives were able to identify the victim in the video and contacted him, police said. The victim said he didn't consent and didn't even know the assault had happened.

And the video was found only because the police were investigating a separate report of a sexual assault.

Second attack in Brigantine linked through DNA

According to police, Martin saw a group of people at a bar the night of Sept. 2, 2024 — less than two weeks after the other incident.

The group ordered a rideshare back to a home in Brigantine, and police believe Martin used the opportunity to figure out the address of the home. Martin then went to the home without their knowledge, police said.

Later, one man in the group shockingly woke up to Martin, a stranger, performing a sex act on him inside the home, police said. Martin ran away after the man woke up.

Police said that DNA evidence analyzed by the New Jersey State Police tied Martin to the Sept. 2, 2024 sex assault.

Police seek other potential victims

Officials say other similar incidents may have happened in other New Jersey towns.

Anyone with information on these two cases or other unreported cases that could involve Martin is asked to contact the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit at (609) 909-7800.
