6-8-2010 Rochester, New York:

Two men charged in the fatal burning and beating of a Rochester man told police that the victim was attacked because he molested a child.

A grand jury has indicted Jeffrey L. Newton with the felonies of second-degree murder and first-degree gang assault and Peter J. Barkley and Darrel Hoffman for first-degree gang assault in a June 8 attack on Martin Quinn in Quinn's apartment on Grand Avenue.

According to court documents, Newton and Hoffman claimed that five people attacked Quinn because of allegations that Quinn had sexually abused a child they knew.

Police said Quinn, 46, was burned with a clothes iron and beaten with pipes, sticks, bottles and a television set. He was dumped in a bathtub and died 16 hours later.

Before Quinn died, Hoffman said Quinn cried out, "Help! I can't breathe! I'm not going to make it!" according to court documents.

Newton, 28, Barkley, 31, and Hoffman, 25, are scheduled to be arraigned Friday before state Supreme Court Justice Daniel J. Doyle. Newton and Barkley are being held without bail in Monroe County Jail; Hoffman is being held in lieu of $15,000 bail.

If convicted of murder, Newton faces a mandatory prison term ranging from 15 years to life to 25 years to life. A conviction for first-degree gang assault brings a mandatory prison term of up to 25 years.

Although police said five men participated in the assault, Newton, Barkley and Hoffman are the only ones to be charged so far. ..Source.. by Michael Zeigler • Staff writer
