[VIDEO] Teens Charged In Rye Hazing Appear in Court

Not guilty pleas entered; court issues orders of protection for witness.

Sean Hinson and Tristan Scragg, both 17, and Max Meyerson, age 16, appeared in Rye City Court this morning to answer to several charges of felony assault, hazing and unlawful imprisonment stemming from a June 1 incident where two were allegedly beaten with a paddle after being taken by car from Rye Free Reading Room to Marshlands Conservancy park.

This morning's hearing did not address the felony charges of assault and unlawful imprisonment which will be taken up in Westchester County Court on a separate date.

Attorneys for each of the defendants entered not guilty pleas for the misdemeanor charges and all three young men acknowledged receipt of orders of protection issued by the court for an unnamed witness.
