A 22-year-old registered sex offender is being held on $1 million cash bail after he was arrested Tuesday night on a warrant listing three counts of aggravated felonious assault, the Milford Daily News reported.
Assault on a child is a very serious allegation. In this case the allegation goes back 7 years and the case is complicated by the defendant's previous conviction for a sex crime and the fact that the alleged crime occurred in New Hampshire. A Milford defense attorney experienced in representing clients charged with Massachusetts sex crimes would also consider the fact that the alleged crime took place prior to the defendant's 2007 conviction and entry into the sex offender registry.
The Douglas man was arrested shortly before 8:30 p.m. after being pulled over by police. The warrant was issued by the juvenile unit of the Manchester, N.H. Police Department and involve an alleged incident seven years ago regarding the sexual assault of a child under the age of 13, according to the Daily News.
The man was convicted in 2007 of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14, according to the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry. He is scheduled to appear in Milford District Court.
Following his Massachusetts court appearance, Manchester Police said the defendant will likely be taken to New Hampshire to answer the charges there. If found guilty, he could face a 10- to 20-year sentence, according to the Daily News.
