NASHUA, NH —A Hudson man was arrested Saturday and charged with physically and sexually assaulting a female acquaintance at a home in Nashua, police said.

Marc Bain, 54, was arrested by Nashua Police Department officers and charged with second-degree assault (strangulation), a Class B felony, three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault-domestic violence, a special felony, and domestic violence-simple assault, a Class A misdemeanor, according to authorities.

Each special felony is punishable by a term of imprisonment, exclusive of fines, a Class B felony is punishable by up to seven years in state prison, exclusive of fines, and a Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in county jail, exclusive of fines, authorities said.
