Community center custodian in NH accused of sexually assaulting 2 girls

FRANKLIN, N.H. (AP) — A 73-year-old community center custodian has been accused of sexually assaulting two girls in Franklin, New Hampshire.

Robert Magoon of Tilton is accused of three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault at Pines Community Center in Northfield. Magoon worked there for about a decade; prosecutors said the charges involve about a two-year period starting in August 2014.

WMUR-TV reports prosecutors said the two girls were abused during a preschool program, and they are now 8 and 11.

Magoon was arraigned Tuesday and his bail was set at $150,000. He is due back in court May 31.

He did not have a lawyer. His case was assigned to a public defender.
