MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) - Arrest warrants for a Glastonbury couple accused of sexually assaulting some of their nine adopted boys say a 15-year-old boy told police he was sexually and physically abused by one of the men for years.
The Hartford Courant report s that arrest warrants were unsealed Thursday in Superior Court in Manchester.
The warrants for 48-year-old George Harasz and his husband, 43-year-old Douglas Wirth, describe abuse suffered by two boys, now 5 and 15. The warrants say the 15-year-old told police Wirth participated to a lesser degree, but didn't stop Harasz from abusing him.
Harasz and Wirth were arrested Nov. 30. They are free on bail. They adopted the children through the state Department of Children and Families beginning in 2000.
The court didn't have information if the men have lawyers. A home telephone listing wasn't in service Thursday.
The two men were each charged with sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor. Harasz was additionally charged with cruelty to persons.
The 15-year-old boy told the state Department of Children and Families and police that he was forced to massage the two men, including near Harasz's genitals, according to the warrants.
The boy also said he showered with Harasz and Wirth and was sodomized by Harasz. The youngster said he was beaten if he refused to comply with Harasz's directions.
Two of the men's grown children — a daughter of Harasz's and an adopted boy — say their father and Wirth are innocent.
