AUGUSTA — A Sidney man charged with raping a 4-year-old girl was among the more than three dozen people indicted this week by a grand jury in Kennebec County Superior Court.

Eric Bard, 22, was indicted on 11 counts of sexual exploitation by a minor and seven counts of gross sexual assault, all class A felonies, and two counts of unlawful sexual contact, which is a class B crime. Bard also was charged with one count of assault.

An indictment is not a determination of guilt, but it is an indication that there is enough evidence to proceed with formal charges and a trial in superior court.

Bard, who was arrested last month, was baby-sitting the child when the alleged offenses occurred, according to an affidavit filed with the court by Detective Christopher Tremblay of the Maine State Police. The affidavit details the investigation by officers beginning in mid-May when a woman contacted police with concerns about a Craigslist ad in which a person said he was interested in giving young children baths.

Bard later admitted posting the ad, according to Tremblay.

Bard reportedly told police on June 19 that there were six computers in his home, all of which could contain child pornography. Bard allegedly said he recently sold and sent one computer to Virginia.

Police got a search warrant to examine a portable memory device that reportedly held pictures of a young girl with Bard. He allegedly identified the child and said he baby-sat for her. The girl’s mother said Bard often watched the girl in his home and the girl’s home while her mother worked.
