Police: Teen girls handcuffed, sexually battered 17-year-old boy

VALPARAISO | Two teenage girls may face a number of felony charges, after police said they bound and sexually battered a 17-year-old boy.

According to Valparaiso police, the girls, ages 16 and 14 and both Valparaiso residents, lured the 17-year-old boy, who has special needs, to a home in the 350 block of Roseland Terrace, just south of Northview Elementary School, Saturday night.

Police said once the boy was inside the house, the girls threatened him with a knife, handcuffed him and then sexually battered him. Police said after the girls released the boy, he returned home, told his mother what happened and they reported the incident to police.

Officers then executed a search warrant on the house where the incident occurred and both suspects were interviewed by detectives. Police said both girls knew the male victim, but provided no information on the rationale behind the incident.

Police are requesting felony charges of criminal deviate conduct, sexual battery and criminal confinement against the 16-year-old girl. The 14-year-old girl also likely will face felony charges of intimidation, battery with a deadly weapon and criminal confinement.

During hearings held Monday, it was determined the girls will remain in custody at the Porter County Juvenile Detention Center until initial hearings are held on the charges April 18, according to Chief Probation Officer Chris Buyer.

Police continue their investigation.

Times staff writer Bob Kasarda contributed to this report.

People pay good money for that kind of stuff.

These girls clearly have a future...what kind of future I have no idea.

VALPARAISO | Prosecutors opted Monday to exercise their right to charge a 16-year-old Valparaiso girl as an adult on accusations of handcuffing, confining for hours and sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy last week.

April Kuchta, of the 300 block of Roseland Terrace, was charged with felony counts of criminal deviate conduct, criminal confinement, intimidation and sexual battery, as well as a misdemeanor battery charge.

The seriousness of the first two offenses provide the option for adult charges without the more typical waiver process, said Deputy Prosecutor Tim Haraminac.

Kuchta was transferred Monday from juvenile detention to the Porter County Jail.

The Times policy is to withhold the names of criminal suspects younger than 18, unless waived to adult court.

A 14-year-old girl, who also was charged with the offense, admitted in juvenile court Monday to battery and confinement charges, as well as to charges from earlier unrelated incidents.

The girl, who wept during her hearing, told the court she used a fake knife and denied stabbing the boy. A sentencing hearing was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. May 9.

The charging information, which reveals far more details than were released last week by police, accuses Kuchta of luring the boy, who has special needs, to her house via text messages to talk between 8 and 9 p.m. April 9. The boy then reportedly was led at knifepoint to the kitchen where he was handcuffed behind his back and poked with the knife.

Kuchta is accused of recording some of the incident with her cell phone while forcing the boy to make humiliating statements. She also is accused of sexually assaulting him and pleading with him for sex.

The boy allegedly was left in handcuffs for two hours covered completely with a blanket, during which time the younger girl is accused of placing tissue in his mouth and taping it shut. The girls are accused of inviting others over to witness the confinement.

An unknown male reportedly freed the boy at one point. He allegedly was recaptured at knifepoint and placed back in handcuffs by Kuchta, only to be freed again by an unknown person and bitten on the arm by Kuchta during a struggle for the knife.
