Charges dropped against sex offender
Anthony Stephen Beaumont, 41, of Fredericton, previous denied registration order breach
A Fredericton man who’s been subject to a sex-offender registration order for almost two decades saw new charges against him withdrawn Wednesday as his trial was set to begin.
Anthony Stephen Beaumont, 41, of Albert Street, was scheduled to stand trial Wednesday in Fredericton provincial court on a charge of violating an order under the Sex Offender Information Registration Act by failing to report his residence to the sex-offender registry between June 2 and July 2, 2022.
He’d denied that count previously, as well as a charge of failing to attend court Jan. 24, 2023.
