WINTHROP, MASS. (WHDH) - A man was back in court Tuesday in connection with a series of indecent assaults of women in Winthrop.

26-year old Kervens Boutin was charged on two counts of indecent assault earlier this month.

A judge held Boutin without bail and ordered him to undergo a 20-day psychiatric evaluation.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
