Georgia law enforcement announced charges Monday against five people in connection with events related to Trent Lehrkamp, who was hospitalized in March and put on a ventilator after a party he attended got out of hand.

Two adults and three minors were slapped with misdemeanour charges, but police say reports of the high school graduate, 19, being violently bullied have been exaggerated and note he attended the two parties on Saint Simons Island voluntarily.
