We are pleased to announce the winner in the Teen Dating Violence PSA Contest.
As you know, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, MPY, Inc., and REACH Beyond Domestic Violence launched a project in which we asked high school students from throughout Middlesex County to create and produce their own Public Service Announcements in an effort to speak out against teen dating violence.
After receiving 35 outstanding entries from more than 200 students, we are pleased to announce the winning PSA which was submitted by a group of students from Somerville High School. The video, entitled “A Cry For Help,” was created and filmed by the following students: Mitch Freitas, Jason Corey, Aakash Sharma, Jerry Alphonse, Anthony Bohan, and Stefanie Vivian.

We announced the winner live on the Fox Morning News. To view a clip of the Fox interview of the students and District Attorney Leone, please click-here.
Their PSA was selected as the winner by a vote of more than 1,000 high school students across Middlesex County and it will now be submitted to local television stations for possible airing across the state.
We are so proud of the great work and leadership shown by so many high school students on this important issue. We also want to thank all of the teachers and advisors who were so actively involved.
In fact, the project was so well received that we hope to make this an annual project that can touch on a number of different issues that confront our teens.
Thanks again for your participation & support!
