A 15-year-old from Saugerties is facing even graver charges after being indicted for rape alongside his original murder accusation — the alleged killing of 88-year-old neighbor Elena Bonjolo. The brutal attack occurred in June, and despite initially pleading not guilty, his family revealed he’d been battling depression and erratic behavior, worsened by medication. Now, with new rape charges added on August 31st and arraignment set for September 9th, the teen remains jailed without bail. If convicted of murder alone, he could face 7.5 to life in prison — making this a case that’s spiraled into something far more devastating than anyone anticipated.
