Massachusetts Man Arrested for Sexual Assaulting Nashua Boy

A man was arrested yesterday on a sexual assault charge against a boy about two years ago, according to a police report.

David Johansen, 26, of David Road in Carver, was arrested at 10:55 a.m. on Aug. 6, on a single felony count of aggravated felonious sexual assault.

According to Lt. Jeffrey Maher of the Nashua Police Department’s special investigations division unit, officers met with the alleged victim, a juvenile male, who stated in late March that he was sexually assaulted in August 2012. The department investigated the charge and determined that Johansen was allegedly responsible for the sexual assault.

Three days ago, Johansen was arrested and waived extradition at the Barnstable County District Court. He was later transported to the Nashua Police Department.

Johansen was held on $50,000 cash bail and was arraigned today.

Maher noted that the charge is punishable by up to 20 years in jail and fines.
