AUGUSTA — Two area men were indicted on sexual assault charges, and two others on charges of possessing sexually explicit images of children, in unrelated cases taken up recently by a Kennebec County grand jury.

Thomas M. Muradian, 73, of Winslow, was indicted on a Class A charge of gross sexual assault for allegedly engaging in a sexual act with a child under the age of 12 in Winslow, between Jan. 12, 2007, and Jan. 12, 2012. The felony charge is punishable by a minimum of 20 years in prison.

Muradian was also indicted on charges of unlawful sexual contact and visual sexual aggression against a child, in the same time period, also in Winslow and involving the same alleged victim. The visual sexual aggression against a child charge alleges he exposed himself to a minor.

And he was indicted on a charge of attempted unlawful sexual contact, involving a different alleged victim, between April 28, 2020, and May 5, 2020, also in Winslow.

An indictment is not a determination of guilt, but indicates that there is enough evidence to proceed with formal charges and a trial.

In an unrelated case, Dwayne M. Armsworthy, 47, of Augusta, was indicted on a Class C charge of gross sexual assault against a woman, Sept. 4, 2019, in Augusta.
