Mashpee teenager found safe and sound, allegedly attacked by classmate before disappearance, police say

MASHPEE, Massachusetts – A teenager who was found safe and sound Wednesday after disappearing earlier this week was allegedly attacked by a classmate last month, Mashpee police said.

After being reported missing on June 2, Aliyah Konton was found safe and sound Wednesday afternoon, Mashpee police told Boston 25. Employees at a Planet Fitness in Hyannis said the girl came up and asked if she could use the restroom and presumably used the shower in the locker room.

Employees said two boys recognized the missing girl and reported it to the manager, who then called Barnstable police.

Mashpee police are investigating an alleged assault and battery that allegedly occurred between the teenager and one of her 13-year-old classmates at Mashpee Middle-High School on May 25. A video of the alleged attack was shared on Snapchat, police said.

After collecting interviews and evidence, police consulted with the Cape and Island Public Prosecution Service to determine the appropriate charges.

Konton was found Wednesday after a multi-day “intensive” search by multiple state, local and federal agencies.

The 13-year-old assault suspect will face seven counts of assault in the Juvenile Division of Falmouth District Court, police said.
