A capital-region senior accused of sexual assault and breaches of court orders wasn’t present when his case was called in court Tuesday, so now he’s a wanted man.

Brian Joseph MacKinnon, 72, of Route 615 in Springfield, about 40 kilometres west of Fredericton, was scheduled to appear in Fredericton provincial court to answer to several charges.

He faces a summary count of sexual assault, alleged to have occurred May 11 in Fredericton, and May 28 and June 11 counts of probation violation by failing to abstain from drugs.
