ANOTHER CHARGE OF AGGRAVATED RAPE FOR CHISM
On Friday, an Essex County grand jury charged 15-year-old Philip Chism with an additional count of aggravated rape in the death of teacher Colleen Ritzer, 24.
Prosecutors said that the teen forced Ritzer to have sexual intercourse before he slashed her throat and dumped her body in the woods near Danvers High School on Oct. 22. He was 14 at the time.
In addition to murder and armed robbery, Chism already faced an aggravated rape charge in the teacher's death because he allegedly sexually assaulted her with a stick.
Chism is being charged as an adult.
