Public Indecency Charges In Torrington
Just days after they arrested four teens on assault charges who allegedly misinterpreted a woman's scream during sex and attacked her lover, police have charged three people with of an overly public display of affection.

Officers were sent to the area behind a Migeon Avenue car dealership to investigate a report of two people having sex on a car. By the time an officer got there, the woman and man had finished up and she was fondling a second man, police said................

.........Police said "bountiful amounts" of alcohol were involved in the incident.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

well on the one hand

unlike (allegedly) what the neighbors didn't do for kitty genovese these teens actually DID something. unfortunately it was NOT a woman getting beaten up. the good news is it appears the man who was beaten was released from the hospital the same day

i'm torn here. people ABSOLUTELY MUST be aware of what is going on around them. if someone, ANYONE, a woman, a child, an elderly person or even a grown man is getting slammed, CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY. don't wait. DO SOMETHING

note: if it's noisy sex, BUT OUT (so to speak)
