Mcquacy Goodridge, 28, of West Orange, verbally and physically abused a 31-year-old woman while taking her all across Morris County and forcing her into acts of prostitution between March 2019 and Aug. 15, Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp said in a joint release with local police.

Police responded to the Ramada on Route 46 for a person being held in a room around 6:30 p.m. Saturday, just after Goodridge threatened to harm the woman if she didn't get more clients then forcibly penetrated her, according to Knapp and a spokesperson for his office.

Goodridge was lodged at the Morris County Jail on charges of human trafficking, sexual assault, criminal coercion, promoting prostitution and terroristic threats.
