Boy's Forehead Forcibly Tattooed With Obscenity

NORWICH, N.Y. -- A man and a teenager have been charged with forcibly tattooing an obscenity on the forehead of a 17-year-old boy, police said Monday.

Officer Craig Berry declined to describe the tattoo, except to say it was a phrase.

"It's just ludicrous that someone would do something like this to another person," Berry said.

Kenneth D. Peer, 23, and a 17-year-old boy were charged with assault and unlawful imprisonment. Police were withholding the name of the 17-year-old, who was charged as a youthful offender, Berry said.

The two were in jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. A court hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.

The victim -- whose name also was withheld by police -- walked into the police station Friday to file a complaint against his attackers. The victim told officers he had been held down by a man and another teen at a Norwich residence while they forcibly tattooed the vulgarity.

Police said the three men knew each other, but officials have not established a motive for the attack, Berry said.

Berry said the attackers used a homemade tattooing instrument. Berry said it was likely the victim would require plastic surgery or a laser process to remove the ink.

Maybe the word "liberal" or "democrat"?

first thing I wondered is if it says RAPIST or something similar.

Tattooins seems a particularly vindictive act.

Norwich Police Officer Craig Berry declined to describe the tattoo, which is an extremely obscene phrase and a diagram.

It was more than words?

My guess is #&*%! or possibly even %$@&*!. Sarge in Beetle Bailey used those phrases regularly.
