Sex Offender Case Continued

The case against sex offender Brian Addeo for allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill has been continued again to June 1.

Addeo, a resident of Grafton, made headlines in March when he removed his court-mandated GPS bracelet and fled the area.

The counterfeit money charge, which is separate from the bracelet incident, resulted when he allegedly passed a counterfeit  bill Dec. 8 to owner Michael Adwe at Grafton Auto Sales, 101 Worcester St.

Addeo is currently serving an automatic six-month sentence at the Worcester County House of Correction in West Boylston for breaking his parole by removing the bracelet.

Addeo was ordered to wear the GPS monitoring bracelet as a condition of parole, which he was granted April 29, 2010.

On that date, he pled guilty to a series of charges, including three counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 and four counts of statutory rape of a child.

A plea deal was accepted, the district attorney's office said, in part because no witnesses were willing to come forward.

He was credited with time served since his 2005 arraignment and released on lifetime community parole, which requires him to register as a sex offender and to wear a monitoring bracelet at all times.

State Police said he removed the bracelet in Tewksbury. This triggered a regional manhunt before Addeo was captured March 16 in Augusta, Maine.
