CONCORD - A Rochester man was arrested on Tuesday on charges including 15 counts of sexual assault against a minor that allegedly occurred over a number of years.

Rai was taken into custody at his Rochester residence without incident, police say.
His arraignment is set for later today in Concord District Court.
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Concord Police Lt. Sean Ford at 230-3728 or the Concord Regional Crimeline at 226-3100, or Barrington Police Lt. Kathleen O'Brien at 664-7679.
