HANCOCK, N.H. (WHDH) — A Massachusetts man is facing felony charges after police say he sexually assaulted a child multiple times at a campground in Hancock, New Hampshire, in 2009.
Dale Earl Cole, 65, of Ayer, was arrested last week as a fugitive from justice after the Ayer Police Department was notified of an active felony warrant for three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault of a victim under 13 years of age, according to the Hancock Police Department.
Cole was extradited back to New Hampshire on Tuesday and appeared by video for arraignment in 8th Circuit Court in Keene on Wednesday. He did not enter a plea and was ordered held on $10,000 bail, officials said.
