Connecticut man arrested for allegedly assaulting two teen boys
Connecticut State Police on Wednesday announced the arrest of a 51-year-old man for allegedly sexually assaulting two 15-year-old boys. The man, Michael Mancini was arrested by Eastern District Major Crimes in Killingly at 7:35 a.m. He is charged with two separate counts of fourth-degree sexual assault.
Moreover, he is also charged with one count each of second-degree sexual assault of a victim under 18, and second-degree sexual assault of a victim between 13-15, as per Connecticut police.
He was held on cumulative $700,000 in court set bonds, before being transported to Danielson Superior Court for arraignment. The investigation is ongoing.
As per the warrant affidavit, on December 27, 2024, a 15-year-old boy’s mother found her son lying on the couch around 6 p.m. Usually, the alleged victim hung around in the game room of the house at that time. The boy vomited around 9 p.m.
Two hours later, her husband claimed that the boy tried to harm himself after taking some pills. He later told his parents that he was allegedly assaulted by Mancini. The boy provided some details of the gruesome acts done by the accused to the police.
Victim alleges money offer from sexual abuser
During a forensic interview, the teen claimed that Mancini gave him multiple $20 bills to buy his silence when he first touched his leg “in a weird way.”
As per the boy, the incidents took place in the 51-year-old’s car. One day, the accused bought the teen $150 worth basketball cards. The man allegedly kept offering him money for these gruesome acts.
The warrant says that in a text conversation, the boy told a friend, “He’s [Mancini] done stuff to me” and “I was scared to say no.”
Many more might have fallen victim
Another incident was reported to the police by a 15-year-old boy who posed as an 18-year-old. Mancini allegedly responded to his post seeking a relationship. The documents claim that they engaged in sexual acts and the teen was given $100 by the accused.
Moreover, the warrant alleges that Mancini would usually offer rides to people he spotted on the road, in an attempt to ‘get lucky.’ Thus, the real number of victims is not known.
