Arlington Police Charge Man, 36, With Enticement of a Child for Sex and Aggravated Statutory Rape
ARLINGTON — Police Chief Frederick Ryan reports that the Arlington Police Department, after an investigation, arrested a man today and charged him with aggravated statutory rape and enticement of a child under 16 for sex.
JAMES HENRY MARTIN III, AGE 36, OF WOBURN, was arrested this afternoon by Arlington and Woburn Police, without incident.
The Arlington Police Department recently received a report alleging that a teenage child was sexually assaulted by a man who had previously worked as a teaching assistant at the Ottoson Middle School in Arlington, where the victim was previously a student.
The investigation showed that the suspect met the victim while the victim was his student and later contacted the victim using a mobile phone-based social media service.
The investigation showed that MARTIN arranged to meet the minor victim in January 2014, MARTIN allegedly brought the victim to a parking lot and sexually assaulted the victim before dropping the victim off at a nearby restaurant.
“This is a deeply disturbing case, in which we allege that an adult sexually assaulted a minor and violated the trust placed in him to care for children,” Chief Ryan said.
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
