Marrocco was indicted earlier this month "based on allegations presented by the Coventry Police Department’s Detective Division, involving the sexual abuse of juveniles known to him, over the course of several years," the post said.
Marrocco was arraigned Friday on three counts of second-degree child molestation, five counts of first-degree sexual assault, six counts of second-degree sexual assault, first-degree child molestation, assault with intent to commit first-degree sexual assault, indecent solicitation of a minor and possession of child pornography, according to the post.
"Marrocco, who was initially arraigned in Third Division District Court in 2025, remains on $30,000 surety bail with home confinement conditions," the post said.
