Dastardly dare
A 20-year-old had sex with a 14-year-old girl at a Utica Avenue party during a terribly salacious twist on the “Truth or Dare” game, police learned this week.
The girl said she was victimized when she partied with a group of friends at a home between Avenues N and O on July 17 at 1 pm.
During the game, she was dared to have sex with the older man. She freely admitted that she agreed to the dare, although now she’s crying statutory rape and filing charges against the 20-year-old.
Who shot the DJ?

The 31-year-old was rushed to a local hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
Three on one
