TILTON — A local man who police learned was sexually abusing two minor children pleaded guilty on May 4 to one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
Police Chief Robert Cormier said detectives were notified on November 17, 2014 by the Division of Children, Families, and Youth (DCYF) about the alleged abuse being perpetrated by Eric Sellar.
After getting search warrants approved by the court, detectives went to Primrose Drive and seized several items, including electronic evidence.
Police also interviewed the two minor children and learned the assaults took place between January and November of 2014.
Sellar was arrested and pleaded guilty.
Cormier said he is serving 12 months in the Belknap County House of Corrections. Seller was also sentenced to 3 1/2 to 7 years in the N.H. State Prison for Men, all of which was suspended pending good behavior for 10 years. After his release from Belknap County, he will be on probation for five years.
