Prosecutors allege that Brugess approached the two girls on Electric Ave. Beach in Bourne on Aug. 7 and tried to get them to come into a wooded area near the beach, adding that Burgess made sexual advances during the conversation, touched both girls on their hands and arms, and licked one of them.
Burgess is in custody, held on bail, prosecutors said. Bourne police say if he were to be released, one of the conditions would be that he stay away from the beach.
