State Police are investigating two separate reported incidents at Waltham’s Riverwalk: a September rape and an indecent assault that occurred last Thursday, though it’s unclear at this time if those incidents are connected.

According to State Police, on Sept. 14, a juvenile female reported that she and a group of friends were walking near the Elm Street entrance to the park and she was eventually alone. At this time, she was grabbed from behind, pushed against a tree, raped and indecently assaulted. She said she did not turn around to look at her assailant. The victim said the assault ended when the assailant thought he heard someone approaching and left.

The assailant did not say anything, but the victim thought she heard him get on a bike and ride away after the assault.

On Oct. 20, a 37-year-old woman reported that she was running on the Riverwalk bike path near Prospect and Crescent streets when she was approached from behind by a man who touched her inappropriately twice. The assailant was riding a bike and didn’t say anything during the assault. The woman ran off without confronting the assailant.

This victim described the man as either white or Hispanic, of average height and build and possibly in his 20s or 30s. He was wearing an orange hoodie.

Both investigations are ongoing. Police said visitors to the Riverwalk should be aware of their surroundings, stay in well-lit areas, carry a cell phone and call 911 immediately if they feel threatened or see any suspicious activity.

Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call Troop H Detectives at 617-740-7544.

State Police have increased visibility in the area, which is part of the Charles River Reservation.

Waltham Police said they’re aware of the incidents, but that the park is maintained by the state Department of Conservation and Recreation. The agency has also increased patrols in the area.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
