The teenager faces numerous charges including forcible rape, sexual penetration by force, elder abuse and assault with the intent to commit a sexual offense during the commission of a first-degree burglary.
The incident occurred on August 9 at the Senior Living Apartment Complex located at Main Street and Yorktown Avenue. Authorities say that the teenager was visiting a family member when he offered his services as a masseuse to the victim. Once in the victim’s apartment, authorities say Demyers forced the woman into her bedroom and sexually assaulted her.
Due to the serious nature of the crimes, Demyers bail was set at $1 million. He faces up to 61 years in prison. At his court date a pretrial hearing was set for September 4 with a preliminary hearing set for October 2.
