Conn. Teens Mishear Sex Screams, Beat Up Man
TORRINGTON, Conn. (CBS) ―
Police say a group of Connecticut teenagers misunderstood a woman's screams during sex and stopped what they thought was an assault by beating the woman's companion.
A girl, two boys and a 19-year-old man were arrested Tuesday and arraigned Wednesday on assault and conspiracy charges.
On June 6, police say the 16-year-old girl, who lives in the Torrington home, heard the 34-year-old woman's screams and thought she was being attacked.
The girl rounded up four friends. Police say they went into the bedroom and beat the woman's 25-year-old companion with a baseball bat and punched him. He was treated at a hospital and released.
One of the friends wasn't charged.
The woman hasn't returned a message left by The Associated Press. There is no phone listing for the man.
Torrington is located in Litchfield County, in the northwestern Connecticut region. In 1955, a catastrophic flood nearly destroyed the city, tearing up major roadways and washing numerous buildings away.
