Police have arrested a New Hampshire man accused of using social media to facilitate multiple sexual assaults on a person under 16.
State police say 27-year-old Eric Castine of Keene was arrested Wednesday after members of the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a warrant.
Castine is facing a charge of felonious sexual assault. He is accused of using Snapchat in connection with "more than one alleged sexual assault" on a victim younger than 16.
State police say investigators believe Castine also "used Snapchat to communicate with and make in-person contact with other juveniles."
