Kennedy is charged with obstruction of justice and assault and battery. The report also said that Kennedy admitted to lying to the police about the incident and trying to cover up the crime by speaking with the child’s guardian. Kennedy was released after posting bond and is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.
