The Morris County prosecutor’s office told DailyMail.com that a mugshot of Moore would not be released under a statewide executive order not to release booking photos. Moore will appear in court on April 17.
The crime was referred to as an act of domestic violence.
It is unclear why it took Moore days to be arrested and whether the victim immediately called the police. Police also have not revealed how Moore managed to get into the college dormitory.
Dina Schipper, the university’s director of communications, said the incident was an isolated incident.
“The university is deeply concerned and saddened by the recently reported incident of domestic violence on our campus,” said Schipper. NJ. com.
“We take any form of violence seriously and are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all members of our community.”
The college did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com about the college’s security system.
