Man ties up women in his shed, then sexually assaults them, New Jersey officials say

A 26-year-old tied up two women in New Jersey and sexually assaulted them, officials said. Now he’s charged.

On March 7, a woman called 911 and said Brandon C. Fickenscher sexually assaulted her and strangled her multiple times, according to a news release by the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.

Investigators learned Fickenscher sexually assaulted the woman in December and strangled her at an apartment in Lindenwold in November 2022, prosecutors said.

On March 8, another woman came forward saying Fickenscher sexually assaulted her in February, officials said.

Both women knew Fickenscher but officials didn’t specify the relationships, prosecutors said.

Fickenscher is accused of tying both of the women up in a shed on his Berlin Township property and sexually assaulting them, officials said.

Fickenscher was charged with aggravated sexual assault, criminal restraint, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, officials said.

He was arrested at this home and booked into the Camden County Correctional Facility, prosecutors said.

Anyone with information is asked to call 856-225-8664, officials said.

Berlin Township is about a 15-mile drive southeast of Camden.
