A former Olympian has been indicted on multiple counts of indecent assault and battery allegedly committed at a Berkshire County summer camp in the 1970s.
The grand jury indictments against hurdler Conrad Mainwaring include nine counts of indecent assault and battery on a child over the age of 14 and three counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14.
“The State Police Detective Unit assigned to the Berkshire District Attorney’s Office began investigating the allegations following a report published by ESPN about Mainwaring, said Andrew McKeever, a spokesperson for the Berkshire County District Attorney. Since then, multiple victims shared similar stories of Mainwaring allegedly using his position of power to coerce teenage boys into sexual conduct.”
GREAT BARRINGTON â Though an intersection is under scrutiny after a deadly wreck in December, public safety officials and residents say the junction, historically, has been safe. Changing or closing it would cause other problems, they say.
The Select Board, in a 4-1 vote Monday, decided to add signs marking the intersection of Lovers Lane and Route 7 as dangerous â but to not change traffic patterns for now.
Board member Leigh Davis voted ânoâ to only posting signs there because she wants left turns prohibited out of Lovers Lane onto Route 7 heading south.
âI just hope that you guys prove me wrong and we donât have another fatality,â she said.
