A Merrimack County grand jury has returned indictments against Primo “Howie” Leung, the former Concord resident and teacher sentenced to a maximum of seven years in prison in Massachusetts last year after he was convicted of raping a teenager.

Merrimack County Attorney Paul Halvorsen, along with Concord Police Chief Bradley Osgood, announced the new indictments Thursday afternoon.

While the charges weren’t specifically listed, Leung, 41, faces “multiple felony and misdemeanor offenses alleging conduct from 2014 to 2019,” a press release said.

In the Massachusetts case, Leung initially pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including aggravated rape of a child with a 10-year age difference, aggravated indecent assault and battery on a child under age 14 and two counts of aggravated indecent assault and battery on a person age 14 or older. The victim was 13 and 14 years old when the incidents occurred.

In May 2023, Leung accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to lesser charges, though still felonious sexual assault.
