Authorities said the victim told police what happened in May of this year and that prompted an investigation.

Pscataquis County Assistant District Attorney Christopher Almy told News Center Maine, "When she made this disclosure, the Sheriff of Piscataquis County himself, Bob Young, went out and investigated this case, made a thorough investigation, and as a result of what he found, these charges have been filed with the court and [Carey] was arrested [Tuesday] on the warrant that was issued."

Almy also stated Herbert “Russell” Carey Jr., 70, was a member of the school board in Milo until March 20, 2021. He did not seek reelection.

Carey was arrested on Aug. 10 and charged with six counts of gross sexual assault, police said. He was released on bail and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Sept. 13, officials said.
