Manchester Foster Dad Facing Charges In Sexual Abuse Of 5-Year-Old

MANCHESTER, NH — A Manchester foster parent is facing felony charges in connection with the sexual assault of a five-year-old boy in his care, the Manchester Police Department said Monday.

Last month, the child reported to police that Dana Lemieux, 64, had sexually abused him when he was five years old.

"The juvenile unit immediately began an investigation and established probable cause to issue a warrant for Lemieux for two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault," police said Monday.

Lemieux turned himself into Manchester Police Thursday. His bail was set at $2,500 cash.

Police are urging anyone with relevant information to call Manchester Detective Canada Stewart at 603-792-5493 or the Manchester Crimeline at 603-624-4040.
