HAVERHILL — A former Haverhill priest who served time in prison after pleading guilty to sexual abuse of a child is facing new charges in Maine.
Kennebunkport Police Chief Craig A. Sanford said that on Monday a York County grand jury indicted Ronald H. Paquin, 74, of Massachusetts on 13 counts of gross sexual misconduct, class A, and 16 counts of gross sexual misconduct, class B.
Sanford said the criminal acts took place in the late 1980s at seasonal locations in Kennebunkport. The male victims’ ages were 11 and 14 when Paquin began his inappropriate criminal conduct.
“I am glad that we were able to present a case that hopefully brings the victims some type of peace in their future and holds the offender accountable for these horrific crimes,” Sanford said.
He noted that with the help of two victims and the hard work of Kennebunkport Detective David Breault and the York County District Attorney Kathryn Slattery, the Kennebunkport Police Department presented evidence to the grand jury of York County that resulted in the indictment.
