4 ex-Illinois high school wrestlers charged in assault


Associated Press

LINCOLN, Ill. — Four former central Illinois high school wrestlers have been indicted in the alleged sexual assault of a teammate.

The four are accused of attacking the boy during a meet for Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School in December.

The incident was first reported by the (Kankakee) Daily Journal.

The Logan County state's attorney's office says 18-year-old Colton Beaupre is charged with aggravated battery and unlawful restraint.

The others, 18-year-old Ian McConnell, 18-year-old Joseph Jenco and 17-year-old Jacob Sirous, are charged with unlawful restraint.

No published telephone listings could be found for the four. It wasn't immediately clear whether they have attorneys.

Two students were expelled, and two were reassigned to a separate campus after 10-day suspensions.
