Demo was convicted of two counts of gross sexual assault on a child under 14 and gross sexual misconduct, all felonies which prohibit him from possessing guns.
Police executed a search warrant at Demo’s house at 112 Romano Road this morning and seized a Remington rifle as well as a black powder rifle, which is not considered a firearm under federal law. Later, Demo directed them to a 10mm pistol hidden in a stereo cabinet.
