A 29-year-old East Hampton woman went to police headquarters on March 4 to report being the victim of sexual assault, stemming from an incident on Feb. 23 at a house in town.
A heavily redacted police report indicated a female friend was a possible witness to the crime, which is being investigated by detectives as a case of a first-degree criminal sex act under a provision indicating the victim was “incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless.”
No crime was committed on Aug. 12 on Front Street in Springs, where police responded to a report that a man was holding a shotgun. Police said it was in fact a BB gun, which the man told them he uses to scare off squirrels and other small animals.
