HOPEDALE - A Level 3 sex offender from Douglas was arrested Tuesday night on a warrant listing three counts of aggravated felonious assault, police said.
John Moosey, 22, of 14 Depot St., Apt. 2, Douglas, was arrested at 8:20 p.m. after police pulled over his car on Mendon Street.
He is being held on $1 million cash bail.
The juvenile unit of the Manchester, N.H., Police Department's investigative division issued the warrant, police said. The charges stem from an incident seven years ago involving the alleged sexual assault of a child under the age of 13.
Hopedale Police said the arresting officer received notice of the warrant at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday evening. A short time later the officer recognized Moosey driving.
According to the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry, Moosey was convicted in 2007 with indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years of age.
The registry also shows Moosey works in Hopedale.
Moosey is scheduled to be in Milford District Court today morning.
Following his Massachusetts court appearance, Manchester Police said Moosey will likely be taken to New Hampshire to answer the charges there. If found guilty, he could face a 10- to 20-year sentence.
