Court dates set for 3 Mass. teens in bullying case
SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. — Three Massachusetts teenagers are due in court next week on charges stemming from a 15-year-old classmate’s suicide after incessant bullying.
Seventeen-year-olds Sean Mulveyhill and Kayla Narey, both of South Hadley, face charges of criminal harassment, disturbing a school assembly and violation of civil rights.
Mulveyhill and 18-year-old Austin Renaud of Springfield also face statutory rape charges. All three are set for arraignment Tuesday in Northampton.
They are among nine teens charged in what prosecutors call the “incessant” bullying of 15-year-old South Hadley freshman Phoebe Prince, who committed suicide Jan. 15.
Messages were left for Narey’s and Renaud’s attorneys, and information wasn’t immediately available on whether Mulveyhill had an attorney.
