on her family's front yard with her head still hazy from drinking Daisy was not in a position to comment on what had happened the night before in light of this it fell to Paige her closest friend who had spent the night at the Coleman home to provide the missing details 13-year-old Paige told police that she and Daisy had been escorted to a small gathering at the house of the town's top football

thorough description of what had happened that particular night as her Consciousness improved she remembered that the two of them had started the stay at Daisy's home by smuggling a few sips from the

Matt Barnett who is 17 years old the High School freshman had been delighted to be offered the opportunity to hang out with Juniors and seniors when he asked them to his parents home for a couple drinks they had leaped at the opportunity believing they had struck the social jackpot after sneaking out the bedroom window they met Matt and his friends who were waiting for them around the corner a short time later they were LED down the basement upon reaching their location and instructed to be quiet to avoid waking his parents Paige said that as soon as the door closed behind them their host began supplying Daisy with drinks a lad of 15 had grabbed her by the hand and led her into an adjacent room as she sat there watching her companion drink glass after glass of alcohol once he got her all to himself the kid started pushing himself on page even though she had warned him over and over to stop she had begged him to let her go but he had ignored her protests pinning her down and raping her after it was over Paige had quickly returned to the other room there were still several of the lads she seen earlier but Matt and Daisy were noticeably missing she had peaked through the slightly ajar door after hearing some odd sounds coming from the next room and saw her buddy half off half on the bed she was limp teetering on the brink of awareness and her body was murmuring gibberish remarkably both she and Matt were nude below the waist just a few minutes later Matt and Daisy came out of the room completely clothed she was so drunk that she was unable to stand on her own even though he seemed level-headed and stable the girls were brought to the vehicle and driven home as if the night's events had come to an end Paige was instructed to go to sleep by one of the lads as they drew up in front of Coleman's home they told her that until Daisy woke up they would remain with her since she was still too sleepy to walk taking their word for it she had gone inside and tucked herself into bed as soon as Paige was no longer in the picture the boys removed Daisy from the car and set her down on the grass they had decided against spending any more time with the visibly handicapped child since the sun was about to rise and they did not want to risk being noticed with him after that they got in their vehicle and drove off Carefree Charlie Daisy's brother went outside later that morning and dug around in the snow until he located her cell phone after going back and listening to the recordings he was surprised to hear that his sister had been talking to the other jock he had previously considered to be a friend because he knew Matt in such depth he was positive that Paige was telling the truth when she said that all of the suspects were rounded up and brought to the Sheriff's Office to face questioning together after his arrest Matty B was charged with the felony of sexual assault as well as the misdemeanor of endangering the welfare of a child both of
