CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals-New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is requesting assistance finding a homeless man wanted by the Nashua police on duty to report charges.
Robert James Cain is either 55 or 60, about 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and weighs around 165 pounds. He has blue eyes and brown hair. Cain, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal, has a scar on his right hand and a mole on his cheek.
“Cain is being sought on an arrest warrant for failing to report and register as a sex offender stemming from two separate occasions,” White said. “Cain is a Tier 2 sex offender with a duty register for life in the state of New Hampshire based on a conviction of indecent assault and battery on a child in Peabody, Massachusetts.”
