BELFAST, Maine — A Searsport man charged with sex crimes against children was arraigned Monday at Waldo County Superior Court.
Brian Doucette, 31, is accused of committing crimes against three children in the Waldo County towns of Searsport, Winterport and Stockton Springs.
The alleged abuse dates back at least a year, Waldo County Assistant District Attorney Eric Walker said Monday evening.
Officials from the Maine State Police Criminal Investigative Division have charged Doucette with four counts of visual sexual aggression against a child under 12 years of age, two counts of unlawful sexual contact and one count of sexual misconduct with a child. All those charges are Class C felonies, Walker said. Each Class C offense is punishable by up to 5 years in jail and up to a $5,000 fine.
He also is charged with one count of unlawful sexual touching, a class D misdemeanor crime.
According to Walker, visual sexual aggression against a child means “exposing yourself or having a child expose themselves to you.”
The charge of sexual misconduct stems from Doucette’s allegedly showing pornography to a child.
The victims are 11, 9 and 6 years old. One is a boy and two are girls, Walker said.
Doucette was arrested at 8 p.m. in a different county in Maine, but was taken to Waldo County Jail in Belfast to be booked.
His bail was set at $25,000 surety or $5,000 cash, and bail conditions include having no contact with the children. Doucette had been transferred Monday evening to Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscassett, a jail official said.
I truly hope the facebook page I found using the name Brian Doucette is not his.
Why?
It’s disgusting how many of these guys are out there. They can’t seem to round them all up fast enough before a new crop pops up. Damn!
That’s because they keep letting these guys out. Follow the court proceedings. They will plea bargain and he will get less than a year. Now if he had raped a woman, he would get at least 5 years.
The guy in China just got 15 years. Great. However you are right in the sense that too many walk free. This is especially true for those that assault people.
That was for child pornography. Not for child raping.
My bad. I was thinking of another story. But as I said, raping a woman is way more serious than raping a child. Do you suppose it’s because the kids can’t vote?
The crime of pedophilia is catching. Young children who are molested (raped) by adults often (if left untreated) grow up to abuse other children. When you consider that some of these adults molest hundreds of children the geometric progression is astounding.
Since there is no “cure” for the pedophile (currently) they should be securely locked away FOREVER!!! Expensive? yes. Necessary? Absolutely.
good ole waldo, murders, drug dealing, children crimes ,bath salts, he will have his supporters at court im sure.
I wonder if you can still get a divorce in Waldo County and still be brother and sister?
Rofl good one

And when he gets out, he’ll probably move to Bangor, the sex offender capital of Maine.
Break hands and tell him to wipe his a@s with his elbows. PIG
Hang ’em high
Seems like this kind of crime is getting to be a weekly event in the news. Remember there is only one surefire cure so the perps won’t re-offend…..
I believe they should get at least 25 years for hurting a child, how is it that hurting a child net less time then an adult? make no sense to me as they depend on adults to take care of them
Weed farmers get more jail time than child molesters. It makes no sense at all.
Exactly! Rape a child, slap on the wrist, told “bad boy, don’t do that again” , grow a pot plant… EVIL DOER! 10 years in Prison! …. makes absolutely no sense at all
weed is more important than children…..you can’t make money from children pervs not enough doing it ,but weed oh yea!! plenty people doing it more to arrest so more income for fines that state gets…. protect your WEED!!!
May this Man endure the harshest of punishment. What a sick person. I hope he gets as much time as can be given. I normally hate my tax dollars going to lock up petty jerks but for this guy I think I could work a few extra hours a week to ensure he stays put for as long as deemed acceptable. Burn jerk.
Here I’ve lived in Maine almost 45 years and I had no idea Winterport is in Waldo County… Shame on me.
No wonder there are so many perverts out there continuing to molest and harm children. Look at the little slap on the wrist this guy is getting. “Punishable by up to 5 years” , betting he won’t get 5 years and he’ll be back out there doing even worse things to kids.
Wow, only one pedophile in BDNs today! Things are looking up in Maine! Im sorry (alleged) pedophile :)
I don’t know who is worse the criminals or the law makers, lawyers and judges! What a screwed up worthless judicial system we have! I guess it’s more important to nail the hard core criminals like the working people not wearing seat belts and traveling 8 to 10 miles an hour over the speed limit!!!!!!!!!!
What’s his occupation??? If this were a police officer or teacher the headline wouldn’t have said Searsport “Man”, it would have said, “Searsport Teacher” or “Searsport State Trooper”. It could have AT LEAST said, “Searsport Scumbag”…
“bail conditions include having no contact with the children” meaning the victims. I believe this to be a typo and should read “no contact with children”.
