PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Three Somerville teenagers charged with sexually assaulting other students at a sports camp in the Berkshires are scheduled to appear in court.
Seventeen-year-old Galileo Mondol and two 16-year-old boys are expected to be arraigned Tuesday.
Prosecutors say the assaults occurred Aug. 25 at Camp Lenox in Otis, where Somerville High School was holding an annual team-building retreat for the football and soccer teams. Authorities say the three juniors assaulted the freshmen in a cabin. All are soccer players.
Mondol was held on $100,000 cash bail on charges including aggravated rape of a child.
His lawyer says his client denies the charges and has never been in any kind of legal trouble.
Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone, a volunteer football coach at the camp, says he is horrified by the allegations.
