BANGOR — A Carroll Plantation man accused of binding an 11-year-old boy with duct tape and sexually assaulting the child has been indicted by a grand jury.
Gerald Wakeling was indicted Wednesday on charges of gross sexual assault, unlawful sexual contact and terrorizing.
An arraignment date has not been scheduled.
Prosecutors say the 59-year-old Wakeling allegedly invited the boy to his home on July 1, 2010, to play video games, then assaulted him. Wakeling also threatened to kill the boy and his family if he told anyone.
If convicted, Wakeling faces up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000 on the most serious charge, gross sexual assault.
