The right of all individuals to be free from fear and attack regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity and sexual orientation is paramount and will be vigorously defended.”The judge remanded Conroy to the Suffolk County jail without bail.

I'm so saddened and disgusted by this story. May these 'men' be tried as adults and rot in prison.
