Man pleads guilty to leading drug ring from Massachusetts to central Maine

AUGUSTA — A former Massachusetts man has been sentenced on drug charges to an initial 30 months behind bars with the remainder of the eight-year prison term suspended while he spends three years on probation.

Jaime R. “Uncle” Brea, 51, of Augusta and formerly of Revere, Massachusetts, was alleged to be the leader of a conspiracy to bring drugs from Massachusetts to central Maine.

Brea, who listed an address in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty on Tuesday at the Capital Judicial Center to unlawful trafficking in cocaine and unlawful trafficking in heroin, both Dec. 20, 2016, in Augusta. A total of $800 in fines was suspended. Brea also forfeited three firearms and $4,691 seized Dec. 20-28, 2016, in Augusta.

Brea also pleaded guilty to four charges of violating conditions of release Feb. 25-April 18, 2017, related to leaving the State of Maine and getting arrested in February 2017 in Manhattan, New York on drug charges. He had been free on $25,000 cash bail.

In exchange for his pleas, other charges against Brea were dismissed.

Conditions of probation prohibit him from contact with six other co-defendants.

An affidavit filed in court by Maine Drug Enforcement Officer Nathan Walker says Brea drove a rental car between Augusta and Massachusetts to bring heroin to his four “nephews” to sell from local “trap houses” in Augusta. A co-defendant told police he made a trip to New York with Brea in one of the rental vehicles to pick up drugs, and that Brea had a phone line for people to call and order drugs.

The co-defendant also said Brea or “one of the ‘boys'” — identified as Jose “Jay EZ” Figueroa, and Sergio “Kash” Figueroa, 24, Jordan Ascencio, 20, and Kidante “KD” Roberts, all of Boston — would pick up the phone or would call back. People with those nicknames were arrested Dec. 20, 2016, in a hotel room in Augusta, where police reported finding a .380-caliber semi-automatic handgun, plus “marijuana, and ledgers documenting drug amounts, drug houses and sales,” Walker wrote.

Walker said that vehicles rented to Brea were found on Bond Street, Water Street and Mount Vernon Avenue, and surveillance by police indicated the vehicles made frequent trips between Boston and Augusta.

Others have already pleaded guilty and been sentenced in the case.

In April 2017, Roberts, then 22, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit unlawful trafficking in drugs and agreed to the forfeiture of three firearms and $3,731 in cash seized that day. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

In October 2017, Jose Figueroa, then 25, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he pleaded guilty in the same courthouse to conspiracy to commit unlawful trafficking in drugs.

Two other people were sentenced on drug charges in separate cases also handled Tuesday at the Capital Judicial Center

• Maurice Wilson, also known as Maurice Anthony Wilson II, Tony Wilson and Sosa, 37, of Augusta, was sentenced to an initial two years in prison with the remainder of the five-year term suspended while he spends two years on probation. He pleaded guilty Thursday to unlawful trafficking in heroin Jan. 29, 2018, and unlawful trafficking in cocaine base March 1, 2018, unlawful possession of cocaine base March 19, 2018 and three counts of violating condition of release Jan. 29-March, 19, 2018, all in Augusta. His $1,600 was suspended. Other charges were dismissed in exchange for the pleas.

• Rodney H, Hall, 36, of Augusta, was sentenced to five years in prison after he pleaded guilty Tuesday to three counts of aggravated trafficking in heroin, April 5, 2018 in Waterville; Dec. 6, 2017, in Auburn, and Nov. 11, 2017, in Lewiston. He also forfeited $2,000; $1,200 in fines were suspended, and he was ordered to pay $240 restitution for drug testing.

Exeter man charged with criminal speeding in chase on U.S. Route 2

An Exeter man was arrested Wednesday morning after leading a Somerset County sheriff’s deputy down U.S. Route 2 in Canaan at speeds that reached 87 mph, police said.

Somerset County Sheriff Dale Lancaster said Jesse P. Hensley, 28, was riding a black 1980 Yamaha 850, heading east on U.S. 2 at a high rate of speed when Deputy Toby Blodgett spotted him just before 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Blodgett clocked Hensley at a radar speed of 87 mph in a 55-mph zone, Lancaster said. Blodgett attempted to catch and stop the motorcycle, as the rider made “bad passes” through Canaan village, he said.

Lancaster said Blodgett was able to catch up to the motorcycle on U.S. 2 in Skowhegan between Lambert Road and East Ridge Road.

“The motorcycle got behind vehicles going in the same direction,” Lancaster said. “When Deputy Blodgett got behind the motorcycle, it pulled over.”

Hensley’s Maine driver’s license is suspended and he is subject to bail conditions as a result of a pending domestic violence charge, Lancaster said.

Hensley was arrested on charges of criminal speed, operating after suspension and violating conditions of release.

Lancaster said Hensley told the deputy that the reason he was speeding was because he was trying to get to court to see a judge about his pending charges.

Hensley was taken to the Somerset County Jail in East Madison and is scheduled to appear Aug. 8 in Somerset County Unified Court.

Bowdoin man gets 2 years for failing to register as sex offender

A Bowdoin man was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison for failing to register as a sex offender.

U.S. Attorney Halsey B. Frank said in a release that 40-year-old David Forrest Noel of Bowdoin will also be required to have five years of supervised release following his release from prison. Noel pleaded guilty on June 22, 2017.

According to court records, Noel was required by Maine law to register as a sex offender because he was convicted in 2010 in Massachusetts of indecent assault and battery on a child. Court records show that Noel moved to Maine in 2016.

But, after moving to Maine, Frank said, Noel failed to notify the appropriate authorities of his relocation and failed to register as a sex offender.

The investigation into the matter was conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service.

Noel was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland by Judge D. Brock Hornby.

Lewiston brawl victim clings to life as police enforce curfew at park

LEWISTON — Police said Thursday a man who was badly beaten two days earlier in a nighttime brawl near Kennedy Park remains in guarded condition.

A clash of two groups occurred on Knox Street after teens in a car reportedly drove past the park and shot pellets and BBs at a group gathered there, according to Sun Journal sources who said they witnessed the events. Several members of the group pursued the car to Knox Street, where a melee broke out, the teens reportedly wielding sticks, bats and bricks, Sun Journal sources said.

A local man was critically injured and taken to a nearby hospital where he underwent surgery. Police said he continues to cling to life.

“He’s alive,” Lt. David St. Pierre said at a noon press conference on Thursday. The name of the victim, who remains in critical condition, was not released.

An investigation into the incident and assault continue, St. Pierre said.

Tuesday night’s brawl was the latest in several recent incidents that have resulted in violence, but none as serious as this one, he said.

“It’s very concerning to us,” he said.

St. Pierre said he didn’t know what has sparked the recent clashes.

“Some of them are as very small as fighting over lighting a cigarette,” he said. “I’m not exactly sure what precipitated this most recent event or the May 17 event we’re investigating as well.”

Asked whether race played a role in Tuesday’s altercation, St. Pierre said: “There were certainly different ethnic origins involved in the fight. I don’t know exactly how many. We get reports or I’ve seen on social media and other outlets that people are saying there are as many as 30 or 40 people from different ethnic backgrounds. I don’t know that to be accurate.”

The police investigation will help determine who was involved and why, he said. But the participants don’t appear to be the same individuals each time nor the same groups of people.

“We’re still working strongly in concert with the Maine State Police,” which is leading the investigation, he said. Detectives from the two agencies are working together to seek out and interview “as many witnesses as possible at this point,” he said.

“I think we’re making some significant strides,” he said.

State Police handle investigations when a death has resulted, or may result, from an incident.

Meanwhile, a 9 p.m. curfew in the park has been enforced since the altercation.

With the added police patrols, “We’re doing the best we can to possibly make sure that the community is safe,” St. Pierre said. “We want people to feel safe in the environment, whether it’s Kennedy Park or in their own home or walking down any city street on the outskirts.”

St. Pierre said he “wouldn’t say anyone in particular is being targeted.”

“Keeping peace in the park obviously is one of our priorities right now,” St. Pierre said. “We have hired some additional officers to patrol the park, especially during the evening hours.”

The Lewiston Police Department participates in many outreach programs and events throughout the year such as our Community Resource Team working with area Mosques to improve relations with the Muslim Community, St. Pierre said.

“We attend monthly meetings with area community groups to improve overall relations between the community and police. We meet regularly with Fatuma Hussein, who is the director of the Immigrant Resource Center of Maine, and are working on getting more outreach workers into the community,” he said.

“A large number of our officers have actively taken part in regular and various ‘Community Conversations’ organized by Nicola Chin of ‘Up with Community,'” he said.

“We do the best we possibly can,” St. Pierre said.

Maine’s high court hears appeal of convicted child molester from Oakland

$

AUGUSTA — An attorney a former Oakland woman convicted of sexually assaulting a 3-year-old boy who was asleep at the time argued before Maine’s high court Thursday that a jury had confusing instructions about “duress” when deciding whether to find the woman guilty.

That was the position of attorney Rory McNamara, who represented Sarah Conway in an appeal heard Thursday morning in Augusta by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, sitting as the Law Court.

Conway was convicted May 31, 2017, at the Capital Judicial Center of gross sexual assault, which occurred in the period of December 2014 to March 2015 in Oakland. Conway admitted that the assault occurred, but said it was involuntary because her boyfriend forcibly compelled her to do it. An earlier trial on that charge ended with a hung jury.

Conway, now 28, is serving an eight-year prison sentence and afterward will spend 18 years on supervised release. She was not present for the oral argument.

McNamara is seeking to have Conway’s conviction overturned and a new trial ordered.

He said the instruction given to the jurors before their deliberations at trial “points in two different directions. We don’t know where they ended up.”

In an aside, Chief Justice Leigh Saufley asked McNamara, “Are you engaged with MACDL to talk with defense counsel about those things they should remember to address when conferences are occurring regarding jury instructions?”

McNamara told her that his law partner, Jamesa Drake, was at the annual conference of the Maine Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers on Thursday, and “hopefully addressing some of these issues. It’s something we talk about every year. I do think instruction from this court is very important too — not just for those attending MACDL conferences, for courts as well.”

Deputy District Attorney Paul Cavanaugh, who was the trial prosecutor, argued that there was no “obvious error,” which is the standard used by Law Court in its review, and that Conway’s conviction should stand.

However, he also said the Law Court could provide guidance on the duress instruction.

“Clarity’s always good; that’s not the same as error,” Cavanaugh told the justices.

He said Conway was acquitted at her first trial of charges of unlawful sexual contact because of erroneous jury instructions, “and now, ironically, she argues that she was convicted of sexual assault … again on erroneous jury instructions.”

Cavanaugh said there was a great deal of discussion in the trial judge’s chambers — outside the jurors’ hearing — about the duress instruction and whether Conway feared her boyfriend, Stephen Richard Smith, and acted with recklessness by remaining with him.

“The use of force was contested,” Cavanaugh said. “The state maintains that there was no force.”

He cited Smith’s testimony at trial saying this was something Smith talked Conway into.

Smith himself testified at both trials, saying that he and Conway sexually assaulted the boy after removing the boy’s diaper.

Smith, now 39, is serving the initial 18-year unsuspended portion of a 30-year prison sentence. He pleaded guilty to three counts of unlawful sexual contact, two counts of visual sexual aggression against a child and one count of sexual misconduct with a child under 12.

Prior to the second trial, Conway had pleaded guilty to two counts of endangering the welfare of a child under 16, with the same boy plus a girl named as victims. She was sentenced to 364 days in jail concurrently on each count.

At the sentencing hearing in September 2017, Cavanaugh had sought a 20-year prison term for Conway, followed by a 20-year period of supervision.

“The children were 5 and 3 at the time of this conduct,” Cavanaugh said. “They were defenseless.”

The two children are in foster care with family members and supervised by New Hampshire child protection authorities.

The defense attorney at the sentencing hearing, Sherry Tash, blamed Conway’s former boyfriend for bringing “this evil into her life. He manipulated her and emotionally blackmailed her.”

At that hearing, Conway spoke directly to the judge. “I should have fought him or ran (away) with my children,” she said. “I foolishly stayed with this evil man and even had a child with him.”

She said she was not a bad person but someone who made bad choices.

Arrest affidavits filed in Augusta court say that Conway went to the police in Canaan, New Hampshire, on Sept. 16, 2016, and spoke to Sgt. Ryan Porter, saying that Smith was her ex-fiance and that they used to watch child pornography together when they had apartments in Oakland, from December 2014 to March 2015. According to Porter, Smith told her he had sexually abused his own children and talked her into sexually abusing her children.

The Law Court issues decisions in writing, and those decisions are published on the website of State of Maine Judicial Branch.

Gardiner man guilty of having child pornography from Philippines

A Gardiner man has pleaded guilty to producing and possessing child pornography originated in the Philippines.

Richard Bailey, 67, changed his plea to guilty on Monday at U.S. District Court in Bangor. He had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges in April in the same court shortly after his arrest.

He will be sentenced at a later date.

A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office says the investigation began after agents were tipped off that Bailey was uploading child pornography to various websites.

“The investigation revealed that the defendant produced child pornography by encouraging adults in the Philippines during online chats to engage in sexual activity with children that was videotaped, photographed, and disseminated in real time over the Internet,” the release says. “A forensic examination of the defendant’s electronic devices revealed multiple images and videos of child pornography including images obtained from the Philippine sex shows.”

An indictment handed up April 12, 2018, charges Bailey with sexual exploitation of a minor and says Baily induced a child around Feb. 8, 2017, “to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of that conduct and did aid and abet another person in doing the same.” It says Bailey knew the depiction would be transported in interstate and foreign commerce.

The charge of production of child pornography carries a penalty of between 15 and 30 years in prison.

The second count says Bailey “knowingly possessed” child pornography up until May 4, 2017, that had been shipped through interstate or foreign commerce and that depicted a child under age 12. That carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit.

Maine high court rejects appeal of woman guilty of molesting boy

$

0

AUGUSTA — A former Oakland woman convicted of sexually assaulting a 3-year-old boy who was asleep at the time has lost her appeal before Maine’s high court.

A lawyer for Sarah Conway, 28, had argued that a jury had confusing instructions about “duress” when deciding whether to find the woman guilty.

But the Maine Supreme Judicial Court on Thursday affirmed the conviction.

Conway, most recently of Canaan, New Hampshire, admitted that the sexual assault occurred between December 2014-March 2015 in Oakland, but said she did it involuntarily because her boyfriend forcibly compelled her to do it.

She is serving an eight-year prison sentence and afterward will spend 18 years on supervised release.

Her former boyfriend, Stephen R. Smith, 38, is serving an initial 18-year unsuspended portion of a 30-year prison term for that and other crimes and then will be on probation.
