Sen. Eric Berthel, and Sen.

“This story just gets more and more appalling.

Our hearts go out to the victims and their families.

Key questions in Bridgeport – and across Connecticut – remain:

A teenage student can’t head out to school without worrying about getting sexually assaulted?

How can any Connecticut student walking any distance feel safe?

Last month, Senate Republicans raised red flags regarding the safety of thousands of Bridgeport students.

This horrible story deserves answers – and action.

We thank the prosecution team for its work in pursuit of justice.”
