Teen Charged In Home Invasion, Rape - Connecticut News Story - WFSB Hartford

NEW MILFORD, Conn. -- A 15-year-old has been charged in connection with a home invasion and sexual assault in New Milford, police said.

Officers were called to the Willow Springs condominiums complex in New Milford at 2:40 a.m. for reports of a home invasion.

Police said a 25-year-old woman was assaulted inside her unit by the teen. During the assault, the woman lost consciousness, police said. When she awoke, she contacted police.

The victim was taken to New Milford Hospital and was treated and released.

Police said a 15-year-old boy was identified as a suspect in the assault. They said the teen lives with his parents at Willow Springs condominium complex. Police said he broke into the woman's home through a window screen.

"She was awakened when he came into the bedroom, a brief struggle ensued, and then he began choking her until she passed out," said Capt. Michael Mrazik of the New Milford Police Department.

Police said the woman was sexually assaulted while she was unconscious.

The unidentified teen was arrested and charged with strangulation, sexual assault in the first degree and burglary.

Police said the teen admitted to the assault in a written statement.

He is being held at the Bridgeport Juvenile Detention Center until his arraignment on Monday at Danbury Juvenile Court. The teen is a student at New Milford High School.

Sounds like he's gonna be a "student" in the Connecticut State Penitentiary!

Too bad he didn't wake up in the funeral home with a trochar in his neck giving him an embalming fluid cocktail.

What a waste of good oxygen!

It breaks my heart when a young woman is victimized and brutalized and were unable or ill prepared to defend them self. She will be scarred for life.

If only she could have turned the tables on this worthless POS.

Charge him as an adult.

Throw him in prison.

Let him find out how it feels to be raped.


She needs to be armed.

He will be charged as an adult:

Teenager Accused Of Home Invasion, Rape To Be Tried As An Adult - WTIC

NEW MILFORD — - The teenager accused in a home invasion and rape will stand trial as an adult instead of a juvenile, the Danbury News-Times reported.

Elias Garcia, 15, is facing charges of first-degree sexual assault, first-degree strangulation and first-degree burglary following a Aug. 6 home invasion and attack of a 25-year-old woman in the Willow Springs condominium complex where both lived.

Garcia is being held on $750,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in Litchfield Superior Court on Sept. 23.

According to the arrest warrant, Garcia was wandering around the condominium complex around 2 a.m. when he spotted a front window of the victim's apartment open, the News-Times reported. Garcia allegedly ripped off the screen, climbed into the apartment and started to look around, eventually making his way into the victim's bedroom.

The victim told police she awoke to find her assailant at her bed and asked who he was and why he was there, the newspaper reported. The attacker then allegedly grabbed the woman around the throat, and after she fell unconscious, sexually assaulted her, the News-Times reported.

Not until after he gets raped. He needs to feel what it is like.

I'm a firm believer that rape and sexual assualt of a child should be punishable by death. People who do this are the scum of the earth and do not deserve to share the same air as the rest of us!!!

Sad to say this is less than two miles from my house. I was right across from there tonight at the diner. I know some people in there.

He will get his when he gets in the big house.

The victim was 25, the "child" was the perpetrator.

Yeah, I understand this......I'm making a point for those who are guilty of either!

We have a saying out west... "Get a rope"!

[Pikachu711]

As our gun toting old western friends would have said, "It's time for a necktie party!" hee-haw!

My late Dad was a mega old western movies buff. Once in a while we'd be watching an old western movie together when one of the actors would use that colorful phrase.

C'mon you guys, he was undoubtedly a "good boy, never got in trouble, was popular in school, and surely would never do anything like what people are saying."





Yeah right!
I'm glad they caught him. I hope the courts do the right thing.

Its to bad the 25 year old female didn't kick his butt....every Dad should get their kids some type of self defense training and than a licensed gun to go with it.

I see that the BG went through a window screen to gain entry to her apartment; I think this incident should highlight something for anyone wishing to avoid a home invasion - make them break something to gain entry, because breaking means making noise. Making noise means waking up, and at least having some small chance at defense of ones self.

And my guess is that the victim will join the ranks of us gun owners very soon, if not already.....
