Claremont, NH, Police Dispatcher Charged With Sex Assault

CLAREMONT, N.H. (AP) – New Hampshire state police say they have arrested a Claremont police dispatcher on charges of aggravated felony sex assault and incest.

Authorities say they took 53-year-old James Boisclair of Claremont into custody Wednesday after a brief investigation.

It was not immediately known whether he had a lawyer.
