A 49-year-old man has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman on Black Friday.
Police and medics responded to the 300 block of Spring Avenue in Bristol Township’s Croydon section for a report of a sexual assault last Friday. The initial report was that a man sexually assaulted a woman and fled the scene, according to court papers.

Around the same time, police came across Bristol Township resident Kevin Joseph May walking down Route 13 in jeans and a T-shirt in the cold, windy weather. May identified himself to an officer and said he was coming from a friend’s home on Spring Avenue and had no jacket because he left after a fight that left him with scratches, authorities said.
May was transported to the police station as officers were at the Spring Avenue home.
At the Spring Avenue home, a woman who was “extremely upset and emotional” relayed that she jolted awake to find May sexually assaulting her. She began screaming and striking him because she did not consent to any sexual contact, police said.

The alleged incident happened after a night of drinking beer at the home with a few other people, police said.
After having beers, the woman let May sleep at the home and offered to drive him home in the morning, police said.
“The victim also stated that [her and May] are not, and have never been, in any type of romantic relationship together,” an investigator wrote.

May spoke with police and reportedly said he “made a huge mistake.” He said he had romantic interest in the woman, whom he had been friends with, and that he sexually assaulted her while she slept.
May was charged with aggravated indecent assault without consent, aggravated indecent assault while unconscious or unaware, indecent assault on a person who was unconscious, and indecent assault. He was arraigned before an on-call district judge and sent to the Bucks County Correctional Institution on 10 percent of $500,000 bail.
