4 charged with sexually assaulting incapacita­ted woman

-

WAKEFIELD (AP) — Three young men and a juvenile are accused of sexually assaulting an incapacita­ted woman in Rhode Island and then sending her video clips of the incident.

The woman told state police that she was both physically and sexually assaulted at a home in Wakefield on March 1 and that she became aware of the details after the suspects sent her the video.

Police arrested one juvenile on Friday, along with Trenton Scuncio, 18, of Wakefield, Jah’quin Sekator, 18, of South Kingston, and Montrell Wilson, 19, of Narraganse­tt. They were charged with first and second degree sexual assault, simple assault, video voyeurism and conspiracy.

The adult suspects are being held without bail and will be arraigned Monday. The juvenile’s case is being handled in family court.

It was unclear Saturday if they have attorneys. Marathon director to help Braille Press’ fundraiser

BOSTON (AP) — The National

Braille Press is launching a new fundraiser this weekend with the help of the Boston Marathon’s race director.

Dave McGillivra­y, who has managed the marathon since 1980, is the featured speaker Sunday evening at the virtual kickoff event for the Braille Across America 2021 Run/ Walk/Bike Challenge to benefit the Boston-based nonprofit.

The challenge begins Wednesday and ends on April 19, Patriots Day in Massachuse­tts and the traditiona­l date of the Boston Marathon. This year’s marathon has been postponed to Oct. 11 due to the pandemic.

Participan­ts in the challenge are asked to complete the distance of a marathon over the course of a month. Participan­ts will log enough miles to virtually run, walk or bike coastto-coast, or 2,620 miles. Funds raised will be used to bolster braille literacy programs for blind children and adults.

Attendees will also hear from Terri Rupp, a blind runner from Las Vegas, on why braille and running is important to her, and Lisamaria Martinez, of Union City, California, who is also blind, and will speak about her participat­ion in Braille Across America when she will be walking 2.62 miles per day with her children.
