convicted drug dealer and reputed ranking member of the Sex Money Murder Bloods street gang in the city has been arrested and charged with the sexual assault of a young girl, which allegedly occurred several years ago.
The accusations were made against the suspect in late March, but details of the incidents were not released to the media due to the alleged actions' involvement with family members.
However, family members of two alleged victims came forward to ask that their situation be publicized because they fear there could be other victims that might come forward.
The situation unfolded in late-March when the mother of a 13-year-old girl reported to police that Terrance Harrell, 28, had grabbed the teen girl at a party and pressed her down onto his lap.
Trenton police advised the parent that from the description of what happened they could likely file a complaint of harassment against Harrell, who goes by the street names Naz and Beef. The family is currently pursuing a complaint on those grounds and perhaps more with the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, according to one of the family members involved.
After this alleged incident was reported, the parent's cousin, who was in a romantic relationship with Harrell and has a child with him, asked her own 13-year-old daughter from another father if Harrell had ever done anything to her.
The mother, who said she is no longer seeing Harrell and has a restraining order against him, said her daughter was reluctant to tell her because she was embarassed, but said that Harrell had touched her genitalia inappropriately several years earlier, when the girl was six or seven.
The mother reported this to police, and Harrell was subsequently arrested.
He was charged with aggravated sexual assault against a victim under 13 and endangering the welfare of a child.
Police said the state Division of Youth and Family Services has been notified and is involved with the investigation, as is the Prosecutor's Office
