A woman reported that on September 18 Darroch indecently assaulted her inside a home on Arther Avenue in Bristol Township. An investigation was launched by detectives and Darroch was arrested on November 19.
The woman said she awoke to find Darroch tongue kissing her as she slept on the couch after a night of watching the movie “300” with her boyfriend and other adults. The unwanted kissing turned to Darroch placing his fingers inside her vagina, police said. The alleged indecent assault happened after the woman’s boyfriend went to another room.
The woman yelled and shoved Darroch before he stopped, she told police.

Moments later, a fight broke out between the adults in the house. Officers were summoned to the house, according to court papers.
Darroch told detectives the incident was consensual and said both were “very drunk.”
