Princeton University Store Employee Charged with Prostitution

An employee of the Princeton University Store has been charged with prostitution after he allegedly engaged in paid sexual acts in the store after hours, according to Princeton Borough Police.

Eric Everett, 23, of Bordentown, was arrested and charged with prostitution and shoplifting.

Brittany Smith, 20, of Keyport, was arrested and charged with prostitution and shoplifting, possession of a controlled dangrous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to police, an investigation into a store theft at 36 University Place revealed that Everett had been engaging in prostitution.  Everett met Smith on Craigslist and the two agreed to meet at certain times and engage in sexual acts for a price set by Smith, police said. During at least three encounters, items including food and drinks were stolen from the store. 

The U-Store is located on the Princeton University campus but is not owned by the University. 

According to a report in the Daily Princetonian, Everet worked at the U-Store for three years and was a night manager. U-Store President Jim Sykes told the newspaper he confronted Evertt about the alleged food theft after reviewing the store's video surveillance last week. 

He told the Daily Princetonian that Everett is no longer an employee. 

Everett was arrested on Sept. 24. Smith was arrested on Sept. 25 and was found to be in possession of 11 Adderall tablets and a marijuana pipe. Both were charged and released without bail. They are due in court on Oct. 1.
