A Merrimack County grand jury has indicted a homeless man accused of breaking into a Concord home and molesting a 13-year-old girl while she slept.
Miles Anderson, 28, faces a new charge of attempted aggravated felonious sexual assault. He was also indicted in late April on two counts of burglary, and one count each of indecent exposure and sexual assault.
Police responded to a home in the area of Washington and Jackson streets on Feb. 19 for a report of a man found in a teenager’s bedroom. The girl’s father had tackled and punched the man – later identified as Anderson – and restrained him on the porch until police arrived shortly after 4 a.m., according to court documents.
The teen told police she was awakened by a man seated in a chair in her bedroom. The man then proceeded to stand up, drop his pants and approach the girl’s bed, where he then tried to lie down while inappropriately touching her, according to an affidavit prepared by Concord police Detective Bryan Croft.
With the light on her iPad, the teen was able to shine a light on the man, whom she told to “stop touching her and get out,” Croft wrote. The girl then ran to her parents’ bedroom for help.
Her father proceeded to search for the man, whom he found standing on a porch located between an exterior door to the residence and a door to the living room, Croft wrote. He told police “he tackled the man, punched him and held him on the porch” while yelling for someone else to call 911.
Anderson will be arraigned on the charges at a later date.
