BOSTON (WHDH) - A Whitman man accused of indecently assaulting a 16-year-old girl on a Silver Line bus has been released on $1,000 bail, officials say.
Officers responding to a report of an assault around 9:45 p.m. Saturday met with the victim who told transit police that she was traveling on board a Silver Line bus to South Station when a man indecently assaulted her and then displayed his middle finger at her as she reported the incident to transit police.
Witnesses and the victim pointed out 52-year-old John Reed as the suspect, according to transit police.
Reed has been ordered to stay away from the victim and the bus route with the exception of work purposes.
He is due back in court Oct. 3.
