Nation IN BRIEF : CONNECTICUT : Woman Says Video Doesn’t Prove Rape

A 19-year-old woman who police charge was brutally raped by two men who videotaped the assault said she doesn’t believe she was raped. “I honestly don’t think they should be charged with rape. The whole thing has been blown out of proportion,” the woman told the News-Times of Danbury in a story published Sunday. Police filed charges Aug. 11 against Beau William Kotach, the woman’s boyfriend, and Chester Hrostek III, both 21, after she complained she was assaulted during a night of drinking. She told police she knew she had sex with at least one of them, but was unsure whether she had agreed. The rape charge was made after police saw the video.
