A New Hampshire man will serve up to 34 years in state prison after being convicted last month of sexually assaulting three homeless women between April and June of 2023, officials said.
Maxwell Newman, 25, of Newton, was convicted May 16 of four counts of rape, three counts of assault and battery, two counts of assault to rape, and one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, according to a statement from the Sufflok County District Attorney’s office.
Judge Debra Squires-Lee sentenced Newman to 28 to 34 years in prison followed by five years of probation. She noted Newman’s “repeated acts of violence, deliberate targeting of vulnerable women and degrading treatment” of the women.
On three separate occasions, Newman drove to Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard
