‘Snapchat’ Rape Suspect is Being Held Without Bail
A Saugus teenager accused of snapchatting videos of an alleged sexual assault on a 16-year-old girl will be held without bail, a judge ruled at a dangerousness hearing on Thursday at the Essex County Juvenile Court.
Timothy Cyckowski, 17, has been accused of filming the Sept. 3 assault and faces charges of kidnapping and posing a child in a state of nudity, The Boston Globe reported. The two other Saugus teens involved in the rape case, Rashad Deihim, 19, and Kailyn Bonia, 18, will be arraigned as adults on Friday in Salem Superior Court. Deihim, who has a history of violence against women, was released twice before by Lynn District Court’s First Justice Albert S. Conlon on low bails — even though Conlon threatened to hold him without bail if he appeared in his court again. Last month, Deihim was ordered held in jail after his own dangerousness hearing.
Cyckowski’s attorney requested home confinement with GPS monitoring for his client, arguing that Cyckowski played a lesser role in the alleged rape than Deihim and Bonia.
Cyckowski’s father, Matthew Cyckowski, 37, was also indicted last month on charges of misleading the police but released without bail.
