A New Hampshire foster parent is charged with sexually assaulting a 5-year-old boy who was in his care, police said.
Manchester police said they received a report last month from a chlid who said that Dana Lemieux, who was his foster parent at the time, had sexually abused him when he was 5 years old and in his care. Police said they immediately began an investigation and found probable cause to issue a warrant for Lemieux's arrest charging him with two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault.
