Man indicted on multiple child sex abuse charges

A Barnstead man has been indicted on multiple sexual assault charges for allegedly inappropriately touching an underage girl on multiple occasions over a period of 10 years.

Kevin Christiansen, 62, of Parade Road, in Barnstead, was indicted on three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, a charge of aggravated felonious sexual assault involving a victim less that 13 years of age, and a charge of felonious sexual assault.

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

Three of the aggravated felonious sexual assault indictments allege Christiansen engaged in a pattern of sexual assault in the form of unprivileged physical contact with the victim who was 15 years of age or younger when the incidents occurred between August 2015 and December 2020.

The fourth charge of aggravated felonious sexual assault alleges he assaulted the victim by exercising unprivileged physical contact on the victim between January 2012 and mid-2014, when the victim was under 13 years of age.

The felonious sexual assault charge alleges Christiansen exchanged in a different form of unprivileged physical contact between January 2012 and mid-2014.

The aggravated felonious sexual assault charges are special felonies, which are potentially punishable by 20 years in prison on each charge.

The indictments allege the assaults have caused the victim “to suffer serious personal injury in the form of extreme mental anguish or trauma.”

The indictments were among a number issued by the latest session of the Belknap County grand jury.
