USA: Former Auburn lawyer Seth Carey indicted on sex assault charges

In March, Carey was arrested in a Walmart parking lot in Orange County, Florida, by a team of police officers investigating the allegations for three years.

Five months after he was arrested in Florida, former Auburn lawyer and one-time district attorney candidate Seth Carey was indicted on a slew of charges stemming from allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman living at his Rumford home in 2018.

Carey was indicted by the Oxford County grand jury this week on charges of attempted gross sexual assault, attempted aggravated sex trafficking, unlawful sexual contact, engaging in prostitution and two counts of domestic assault.

In March, Carey was arrested in a Walmart parking lot in Orange County, Florida, by a team of police officers who had been investigating the allegations for three years.

Police began investigating Carey in March 2018, when a 34-year-old woman reported to the Rumford Police Department that Carey had sexually assaulted her the previous month, according to Maine State Police.

According to court records, the woman had been living with him in his Rumford home at the time. The indictment states that Carey attempted to force the woman into a sex act by grabbing her hair and pulling her face toward his crotch.

It was later reported during civil court hearings that Carey had tried to pay for her silence about the matter.
