ROCKLAND – The Knox County Superior Court grand jury rose Thursday, after four days of deliberations, and issued 34 indictments.

The nearly three-dozen indicted people had a total of 79 counts against them.

During the review, the grand jury found one “no-bill,” which is a case presented that results in no indictment. In the December session, there were no secret indictments, which are cases that are kept sealed until a defendant is arrested.

One of the most serious crimes among the indictments is a gross sexual assault, which involved compulsion or force.

Alex Landau, 31, of Rockland was charged with gross sexual assault, as well as aggravated assault and aggravated criminal trespass. The forced sex act was against a woman whose age was not given.

The offense allegedly occurred in Rockland on Thanksgiving Day.

Several other men were indicted for sex-related crimes:

He was also indicted on charges of furnishing alcohol to minors and furnishing a place for minors to consume. The alleged offenses took place April 26.

David Rector, 41, of Rockland faces two counts of gross sexual assault against a female victim under age 14. The crimes are alleged to have occurred in May 1993 and September 1995.
