Alton man indicted on sex assault charges

An Alton man has been indicted on several sexual charges stemming from his alleged interaction with a child.

David Ellis, 51, of Elliot Road, in Alton, was indicted on three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, and three counts of felonious sexual assault.

Ellis is among a number of people indicted by the latest session of the Belknap County grand jury.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt. Rather it is a determination by a grand jury that there is enough evidence of an alleged crime to warrant bringing a case to trial.

The indictments allege that Ellis fondled the victim who was 11 years old at the time when the alleged acts occurred over a period of three months in 2019.
