Sex, drug offenses among indictments

ROCKLAND – After more than three days of deliberation, a Knox County Superior Court grand jury issued 41 indictments Thursday charging people with crimes that were mostly drug-related.

During the closed sessions, the grand jury reviewed 45 cases, including one drug case that involves the forfeiture of nearly $44,000.

In addition to the 41 indictments, the grand jury returned three secret indictments and one no-bill. Secret indictments are not released until an accused person is arrested. No-bills are cases that are presented that do not result in indictments.

Of the 41 indictments, there was one case involving sexual offenses. Beverly N. Haskell, 78, of Rockland is accused of one count of attempted gross sexual assault, five counts of unlawful sexual contact and four assaults.
