MILFORD, Mass. — A Milford man is facing charges after allegedly assaulting a disabled male he was caring for.

According to the police, on Friday, November 28th, around 9:16 p.m., officers received a call reporting the past sexual assault of a disabled male.

Within minutes, at 9:21 p.m., Milford Police Detectives began looking into the report, during which it was alleged that the victim’s caretaker had indecently touched him.
