MAGNA — A 26-year-old man was arrested after police say he raped a 12-year-old boy with a video game controller during a sleepover.
Nicholas Parry was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of object rape and two counts of aggravated sexual assault.
Investigators say Parry was at a house where four boys, ages 12 and 13, were having a sleepover. Parry became drunk during the course of the evening, said Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal.
At some point he apparently became angry that the young boys were teasing him, Hoyal said. He reacted by grabbing a 12-year-old boy and sexually abusing him using a Wii game controller, Hoyal said.
The act was witnessed by the other boys. The parents of the boy who was having the sleepover were asleep upstairs, he said.
In the morning, when Parry had sobered up, he attacked the 12-year-old boy again, Hoyal said.
Parry allegedly confessed what he had done the next day to a neighbor who called police.
