Police: Homeless Man Broke Into Home, Molested Teen Girl

CONCORD, NH - A homeless man is facing charges in Concord after allegedly breaking into a home and molesting a 13-year-old girl while she slept. According to the Concord Monitor, Miles Anderson, 28, faces a new charge of attempted aggravated felonious sexual assault.

Police responded to a home in the area of Washington and Jackson streets on Feb. 19 for a report of a man found in a teenager’s bedroom. The girl’s father had tackled and punched the man – later identified as Anderson – and restrained him on the porch until police arrived shortly after 4 a.m., according to court documents.

The teen told police she was awakened by a man seated in a chair in her bedroom. The man then proceeded to stand up, drop his pants and approach the girl’s bed, where he then tried to lie down while inappropriately touching her, according to an affidavit prepared by Concord police Detective Bryan Croft.

With the light on her iPad, the teen was able to shine a light on the man, whom she told to “stop touching her and get out,” Croft wrote. The girl then ran to her parents’ bedroom for help.

According to a police report, the girl's father tracked down the man to the home's porch where he punched and held the suspect until police arrived.
