A Ludlow man is facing more than a dozen charges for sexually assaulting a 7- and 8-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy.
66-year-old Robert Hamilton was arraigned this morning by District Judge David Engman. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Thursday.
The charges stem from an investigation that started in October of last year.
Court records say the three children told forensic interviewers that Hamilton had intercourse and oral sex with them while they went camping and fishing.
Hamilton is charged with one felony count each of Involuntary Deviant Sexual Intercourse with a child and with a person younger than 16 as well as sexual assault; and two counts each of indecent assault of a person younger than 13 and corruption of minors. He’s also charged with seven misdemeanor counts of indecent assault and one count of indecent exposure.
He’s in jail in lieu of a quarter of a million dollars bail.
