WESTMORELAND, N.Y. -- Six people were arrested after a month-long investigation into a party back in December.

The chief of the Child Advocacy Center says on December 4th, his office received a number of calls regarding a party on Shed Road in Westmoreland. Callers reported alcohol at that residence, as well as an alleged sexual assault. Police have now arrested five young men:


  • John Becker, 18

  • Devon Williams, 16

  • Sean O'Brien, 20

  • Marvin Sherman III, 18

All have been charged with sexual misconduct and endangering the welfare of a child. Both are Class A misdemeanors.

Tina Williams, 36, who lives at the residence, was charged with unlawfully dealing with a child. All will appear in Westmoreland Town Court on January 23rd. The individual involved in the sexual assault has been offered counseling through the Child Advocacy Center.
