DOVER - A Dover man was arrested on Thursday in a series of sexual assaults on a juvenile female.

The assaults took place over three years, police say, and the victim is now 15.

Taken into custody last night was Lawrence Pilla, 60, of 9 Samuel Hanson Ave. He will be arraigned today in Strafford County Superior Court.

Dover Police say they began an investigation after receiving a report regarding Pilla in early October. As a result of information obtained by the department's Special Investigations Unit, detectives obtained a warrant charging Pilla with two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault and three counts of felonious sexual assault.

Pilla turned himself in at Dover Police headquarters. He is being held on preventative detention pending today's arraignment.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Dover Police Department at 603-742-4646 or the Dover Crimeline at 603-749-6000. The Dover Crimeline can also be contacted via www.dovernhcrimeline.org.
