The incidents were reported to police in August, authorities said. The arrest stems from search warrants executed in both towns on Sept. 21.
Police ask that anyone who suspects their children may have had contact with Emerson to call police at 893-2810 or 222-1660.
Emerson’s bail has been set at $50,000.
