Resetarits Brothers To Be Released On Bail

Two Homer men accused of sexual assault at a large house party last month have had their bail set. Michael Armstrong of the Homer News reports that, in a crowded courtroom Tuesday afternoon, Judge Margaret Murphy set bail at $5,000 for 20-year-old Anthony Resetarits and his 18-year-old brother, Joseph Resetarits. Both men will have to be under a 24-hour third-party custodian.

The two brothers were arrested last week in Anchorage and Homer on charges of second-degree sexual assault. In charging documents, Alaska State Trooper Sergeant Jeremy Stone alleged Anthony Resetarits sexually assaulted an incapacitated 17-year-old boy at an house party, with Joseph Resetarits assisting. In his affidavit, Stone said many people witnessed the assault, with some photographing parts of it.

Kenai Assistant District Attorney Kelly Lawson asked that the men not be at Homer High School or contact children under age 18. She also asked that the brothers not contact each other. Judge Murphy granted those conditions.

If convicted, the men face from 5 to 15 years each in jail
