Teens Report Sexual Assault After Meeting With Men From Social Media

Windsor police are reminding young teens and parents about the dangers of meeting people online after three young women were reportedly sexually assaulted.

Two males in the apartment were arrested. Police discovered that one of the men started a conversation with one of the girls on social media a couple weeks prior. The men then arranged to meet the teens and bring them back to their apartment where the reported offences took place.
