AUGUSTA — An Oakland man accused of sexually assaulting a girl younger than 12 years old multiple times over several years has been indicted by a Kennebec County grand jury on two counts each of gross sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact.
Jeramy D. Hinton
Jeramy D. Hinton, 48, allegedly sexually assaulted the same girl over a number of years, according to an affidavit filed by Brittany Johnson, an investigator with the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office.
The charges on which Hinton was indicted are alleged to have occurred between 2018 and 2020, when the girl was still younger than 12.
The affidavit states that Hinton, in December 2020, admitted to police he had sexually assaulted the girl and said the assaults began about five years ago. He acknowledged knowing what he did was wrong and said he continued to ask God why he did it, according to the affidavit.
The girl disclosed the assaults to her mother, who reported it to Oakland police, and that agency asked the sheriff’s office to investigate. The girl told investigators the incidents felt gross and she was told by Hinton that they would be their “little secret” and he would go to jail if she ever told anyone, according to the affidavit.
An indictment is not a determination of guilt but indicates there is enough evidence to proceed with formal charges and a trial.
