3 charged in Mass. bullying to skip arraignment

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — Attorneys are expected to appear in court on behalf of three Massachusetts teenagers charged in the bullying of a 15-year-old girl who committed suicide.

Arraignment is set for Tuesday in Hampshire Superior Court for 17-year-old Sean Mulveyhill and Kayla Narey of South Hadley and 18-year-old Austin Renaud of Springfield.

Mulveyhill and Renaud are charged with statutory rape. Charges against Mulveyhill and Narey include civil rights violations and harassment.

None are expected to appear in court. Their attorneys will represent them.

They are among nine teens charged in what prosecutors said was the “unrelenting” bullying of Phoebe Prince at South Hadley High School. Prince committed suicide Jan. 14.
