SHREWSBURY (AP) - A Shrewsbury man has been indicted on sex tourism
charges for allegedly traveling to the Dominican Republic to have sex with
underage girls.
A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted 61-year-old Conrad Gallant on
charges including sexual exploitation of children and engaging in illicit sexual
conduct.
Gallant was arrested on the Caribbean island on March 4 after an
investigation led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He is a former member
of the Winchendon Board of Health.
Federal authorities say Gallant traveled to the Dominican Republic several
times between February 2011 and February 2012 and had sex with a 14-year-old
girl, took photos of her, paid her money and asked her to bring other young
girls with whom he could have sex. He could not be reached.
