MICHAUD CONVICTED ON NUMEROUS COUNTS OF FELONIOUS SEXUAL ASSAULT

Brentwood -        County Attorney Jim Reams announced today that a Rockingham County jury has convicted Joseph Michaud, (DOB 09/20/64) of LKA 155 Spruce Lane, Auburn, NH on four counts of Felonious Sexual Assault. The above charges stem from incidents that occurred at both the defendant and victim’s houses in Auburn. The victim in this case was 7 at the time the molestation started and was the defendant’s best friend’s daughter. The assaults started in the fall of 2006 and continued through 2007-2008.

The Trial Team was Assistant County Attorney Charlene Dulac, Assistant County Attorney Jerome Blanchard and Victim Advocate Tara Longo. The defendant faces 3 ½ – 7 years on each Felonious Sexual Assault and is currently being held without bail pending his sentencing and the completion of a Pre-sentence Investigation by the Department of Corrections.

“I hope this verdict helps the family reconcile what happened to their child by their former family friend”, said Reams.
