Local resident indicted on multiple sex assault charges

A local resident is facing felony charges alleging he repeatedly sexually assaulted a youngster over an extended period.

Brian Reed, 61, of Blueberry Lane, in Laconia, was indicted on two charges of pattern aggravated felonious sexual assault, and three separate charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault.

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

The pattern charges allege Reed engaged in at least four sex assaults against the victim during the year 2020. The other three indictments allege he committed different forms of sexual assault against the alleged victim between Jan 1, 2020, and Jan. 12, 2022.

The alleged victim was under the age of 16 at the time the alleged assaults took place, the indictments state.

Reed was among a number of people indicted by the latest session of the Belknap County grand jury.
