Concord Man Accused Of Sexual Assault, Lewdness At South End Laundromat: Follow-Up

CONCORD, NH — A man from Concord is facing three charges after an incident at a South End Laundromat in early February.

Jason McGill, 43, of Concord, was arrested on Friday on sexual assault, simple assault, and indecent exposure-gross lewdness charges, all misdemeanors, after an incident on Feb. 2.

Police took a report of an assault between two patrons at the laundromat, which is located at 44 S. State St. in the city’s South End neighborhood. A few weeks later, a Concord Regional Crimeline alert was issued asking for the public’s help identifying a person of interest.

Forty-eight hours later, the person of interest was identified as McGill and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was picked up on Friday, Lt. Thomas Yerkes of the Concord Police Department said.

McGill is scheduled to appear in the Concord District Court on March 14 for arraignment, he added.

According to superior court records and posts on Patch, McGill has a lengthy criminal history dating back more than two decades.

McGill was accused of criminal threatening and reckless conduct, both felonies, in Berlin in October 2024 and pleaded guilty to the charges eight months later.

Five years later, he was accused of being a habitual offender and intoxicated-influence of drugs-subsequent offense in Berlin. McGill pleaded guilty in March 2010 and served 10 days and was fined $900. According to court documents, a motion was made on Feb. 9, 2024, for him to pay the fines. A few weeks later, the matter was settled.

In March 2012, in Berlin again, McGill was arrested on a felony drug possession and acts prohibited charges. He pleaded guilty to both charges in November of that year and was fined $1,540.

McGill was arrested on habitual offender, driving under the influence, and possession-sale of marijuana or hashish charges in August 2012 in Lebanon. He pleaded guilty to the charges in February 2013 and was given three two-year suspended sentences and a $1,500 fine. McGill was found to have violated probation in November 2013 and was given an 18-month to three-year sentence suspended for seven years.

In Concord, in May 2015, he was charged with habitual offender again and pleaded guilty to the charge in January 2016. He received a 12-month sentence with no credit for 22 days time served.

In Henniker, in April 2019, he was arrested again for habitual offender.

In July 2019 in Concord, he was arrested on driving under the influence and four reckless operation charges. McGill woke up residents of the West End during the chase with New Hampshire State Police. The Concord charges, though, were nolle prossed in September 2020.

A guilty plea followed on the Henniker charge with a 12-month sentence suspended for three years and probation for two years. McGill was accused of violating probation three months later.

McGill was arrested on habitual offender, DUI-second offense, and acts prohibited in November 2020 in Hooksett and acts prohibited and criminal threatening in Henniker in December 2020. In September 2021, he pleaded guilty to the threat, habitual offender, and DUI charges and was sentenced to one-to-four years, 180 days, and 90 days in prison, mandatory minimum of one year, with 112 days time served, and $930 in fines, some of which were suspended.

In June 2021, McGill was arrested again in Concord on a habitual offender charge and pleaded guilty three months later. He received a two-to-four-year sentence, suspended for five years.

In August 2022, in Tilton, he was charged with habitual offender again and received a two-to-four-year sentence, suspended for three years, in May 2023.

In September 2023, he was charged with acts prohibited in Concord. About 13 months later, he received a two-to-four-year sentence, suspended for five years, and two years probation. He was also fined $620. That was also suspended for five years.

On March 14, though, a motion was made in Belknap County Superior Court to impose the suspended sentence for the Tilton case and a hearing is booked for April 4.

Other charges against McGill since 2004 include motor vehicles; penalties, breach of bail, disobeying an officer, reckless operation, simple assault, domestic violence, open container, false imprisonment, and warrants.
