PRINCETON, WV (LOOTPRESS) — The Princeton Police Department is investigating a reported sexual assault involving a woman and a man she met through an online dating service.
According to a police report, officers responded to Princeton Community Hospital at approximately 5:20 p.m. on April 29, 2026, after receiving a complaint about an alleged sexual assault at a residence on North Wickham Avenue.
The woman told investigators that Eddie Porter, whom she described as her boyfriend, forced her to perform a sexual act after she refused his request. She alleged that Porter restrained her and caused her pain during the encounter.
The woman said Porter later apologized. She reportedly remained in another room because she was afraid to call 911 and told Porter to leave the residence the following morning.
According to the report, the woman said she had known Porter for approximately three weeks after meeting him through Facebook Dating.
The police narrative contains conflicting dates, listing the alleged assault as April 28 in the initial complaint but referring to March dates elsewhere in the report.
No information concerning an arrest or criminal charges was included in the document provided. The allegations have not been proven in court.
