Colorado man indicted for multiple sex assaults in Gilmanton

A Colorado man has been indicted for repeatedly sexually assaulting a underage teenager in Gilmanton several years ago.

Ayden Carpenter, 24, of Colorado Springs, was indicted on six counts of pattern aggravated felonious sexual assault.

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

The indictments against Carpenter alleged that he sexually assaulted the victim on multiple occasions over a three-year period — between July 2016 and July 2019 — when the victim was between 13 and 15 years of age.

The charges Carpenter is facing are special felonies, which are potentially punishable by 20 years in prison on each count.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt. Rather, it is a finding by a grand jury that enough evidence of a potential crime exists to warrant bringing a case to trial.
