The Gloucester Police Department has filed applications for assault and battery charges against three juveniles involved in an alleged attack on a transgender teenager.
According to the victim, the defendants were yelling slurs as they attacked him because he is transgender, prompting police to investigate the hate crime aspect.
Despite the hate crime allegations, police confirmed that the evidence 'did not ultimately support hate crime charges,' indicating a complicated investigation process.
Police Chief Edward Conley emphasized the meticulous nature of the investigation, asserting that the charges align with the evidence gathered during the case.
