Central Waterville man accused of sex abuse
62-year-old defendant accused of sexual-touching offences dating back to 2004-2008
An Upper River Valley man is set to return to court next month to answer to allegations that he molested an underage family member two decades ago.
A 62-year-old man from Central Waterville, about 30 kilometres east of Woodstock, made his initial appearance in Fredericton provincial court Wednesday to answer to charges alleging sexually based offences dating back about 20 years.
Matthew Oram, an articling student with the Crown prosecutors’ office, asked the court to impose a publication ban to protect the identity of the complainant in the case, and Judge Pierre Gionet issued that order.
Because of a familial connection between the complainant and the accused, the Fredericton Independent isn’t naming the defendant.
