The KYW Newsradio All-Local on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024 (morning edition): The two candidates in one of the tightest races for US Senate will be on a debate stage tonight (THURSDAY) in Harrisburg. KYW Suburban Bureau Chief Jim Melwert takes a look at the race that has the Democratic incumbent in the lead but the Republican Challenger easily in striking distance. Authorities in Ocean County, New Jersey announced charges against a Toms River man in connection to the kidnapping and sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl back on September 29th. The Ocean County Prosecutors Office says 46-year Keith Hahn, a registered sex offender, picked up the 14-year-old victim after she became lost walking along Route 70 in Manchester Township. Police say the girl asked Hahn to take her to an animal shelter in Toms River, but he took her another area in the town and sexually assaulted her. They say he then drove her to a Walmart in Toms River, where she got out of his car and ran home. Hahn was taken into custody on Tuesday after search warrants were executed on his house and vehicle, a white Jeep Grand Cherokee. He remains detained in Ocean County Jail, and is charged with aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping, endangering the welfare of a child, and many other related crimes. The Delaware County health department looks back and forward as they release their 2024 annual report. KYW’s Justin Udo reports.
