SPRINGVALE - A Maine man facing a jury trial in the alleged long-term sexual abuse of a girl between the ages of 5 and 9 was picked up as a fugitive from justice on Saturday at his Springvale home.

Christopher Lunny, 44, with a last known address of 45 Ellsworth St., Springvale, was picked up by U.S. Marshals with Sanford Police backup around 8:15 p.m.

The warrant for his arrest was for default or breach of bail conditions, Sanford Police Deputy Chief Tim Strout said today.

Lunny is currently being housed at the York County Jail pending a video arraignment later today.

Jury selection for his trial is expected to begin Tuesday in Strafford County Superior Court.

Lunny was indicted in June 2014 on five counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, a special felony due to the victim's age. Each count carries a 10-30 year sentence.

Court records allege he engaged in a pattern of sexual abuse of the girl in Rochester between 2004 and 2008, including rape and other various sexual acts.

Lunny had been out on personal recognizance bail prior to his arrest.
