Adult woman charged after 16-year-old boy was beaten for hours by group of teens in Stevensville

STEVENSVILLE, Mont. - At a party on the night of September 12, a 16-year-old boy was beaten by a group of other teens for three hours before he was dropped off at home with a collapsed lung, face and jaw injuries and "covered in blood," according to documents filed in Ravalli County court. On September 15, an arrest warrant was signed by a judge for 40-year-old Jessica Kalie McKay, the owner of the home where the party took place. 

At around 5:30 a.m. on September 13, the 16-year-old was dropped off outside his house by a driver later identified as McKay. The boy's mother told police that her son walked inside with "blood on his clothes...significant swelling on his face, and he had a black eye," according to court documents. She also said he told her he did not know what had happened and appeared intoxicated, and she was especially concerned because her son had suffered a traumatic brain injury as a child.
