(CBS News) WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney is apologizing after reports of an incident nearly half a century ago that one witness calls "an assault and battery" on a boarding school classmate who turned out to be gay.
The Washington Post quotes other witnesses who say the boy was held down, screaming and crying, while Romney bullied him.
On the campaign trail, Romney apologized Thursday for pranks he was said to have committed in school 46 years ago.
"I'm sure, like other folks, I've done stupid things in high school, and if I offended anybody by that, I of course apologize."
