MEN FROM WARWICK, CRANSTON ACCUSED OF SEX ATTACKS ON 2 BOYS

WARWICK - Two men were ordered held without bail yesterday at the Adult 
Correctional Insitutions on felony charges of molesting and sexually 
assaulting two teenage boys with whom they had become friendly in a 
computer club about 1 1/2 years ago.

District Court Judge Gilbert Indeglia ordered Michael P. Labbe, 25, of 34 
Connecticut Ave., Warwick, and Jeffrey L. Whitman, 23, of 27 Hemlock Ave., 
Cranston, held.  As is customary on felony counts at the District Court 
level, neither man entered pleas on the charges of first-degree child 
molestation and third degree sexual assault.

Police said the boys were 13 and 14 when the alleged offenses occurred.  
They said they got a tip about the alleged assaults.

The alleged offenses took place at the house where Labbe lives, police
said.
