Roberts 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs around 160 lbs., and has brown hair and brown eyes. He has numerous tattoos on his neck, chest, stomach, arms, shoulders, legs, and left hand. He also has scars on his upper lip, chest, and right arm.

The warrant for his arrest was issued on Jan. 10, 2017.

“Roberts is on parole as part his sentence for a 2008 conviction for aggravated felonious sexual assault on a victim under the age of 16,” according to Deputy Jeffrey White of the U.S. Marshals Service. “Additionally, Roberts has a 2004 conviction for sexual assault.”

According to Fosters.com in June 2007, Roberts sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl while he was facing felony domestic abuse charges in Laconia. At the time, his wife alleged that he threw her toddler to the floor causing injuries. Roberts also allegedly grabbed his wife and threw her into a parked vehicle. At the time, she was more than seven months pregnant.

"I never once hit her or my son," he reportedly told the judge at a court hearing at the time. "I'm a good father."

Roberts’ whereabouts are currently unknown but he has ties to the Lebanon area, according to White.

According to Justia.com, when Roberts was sentenced to four to 10 years, he was also given a suspended sentence of one to two years for related conduct. After being arrested while in the state’s halfway house in April 2013, officials moved to impose the suspended sentence. After serving the sentence, Roberts petitioned to be released but officials moved to dismiss the request because he had not completed his sex offender treatment program. The superior court, however, denied the dismissal motion and ordered Roberts released. Officials petitioned the state Supreme Court which reversed the lower court ruling that Roberts be released.
