Two Convicted in “Bible Study” Luring, Sexual Assault of Mentally Disabled Woman

Two New Jersey men have been convicted of sexually assaulting a mentally disabled woman after luring her to a home under the pretense of participating in Bible study, then kicking her out of the home during a snowstorm.

A Union County jury on Wednesday convicted Edward Woodson and Marcal Campbell on aggravated sex assault and sex assault charges. Woodson was also convicted of kidnapping.

The 34-year-old Plainfield residents face lengthy prison terms when they're sentenced March 13.

Prosecutors say the sex assaults occurred at Woodson's home in January 2011.

They said Woodson and Campbell took turns sexually assaulting her in the basement for more than an hour, then kicked her out early the next day with no cell phone, money or any means to get home.

The woman was found several hours later and needed medical attention.
