ALFRED, Maine — A former guard at the Southern Maine Re-entry Center who last year donated a kidney to a woman after seeing her advertisement on her car window has been indicted on five counts of gross sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact.
Joshua Dall-Leighton, 31, of Standish was indicted by a York County grand jury on five counts of Class B felony gross sexual assault and one count of Class C felony unlawful sexual contact for incidents that allegedly took place between December 2015 and Feb. 3, 2016, in Sanford and Wells, according to indictments handed up Thursday by the grand jury.
Dall-Leighton donated his kidney to the South Portland woman in June 2015 after Maine Medical Center halted the procedure two months earlier due to an online fundraising campaign that raised nearly $50,000 to cover his family’s expenses related to the procedure.
According to an August 2015 newsletter, Dall-Leighton was a guard at the Southern Maine Re-Entry Center for women in Alfred, a facility operated by the Maine Department of Corrections.
Staff at the Southern Maine Re-entry Center referred questions about Dall-Leighton’s employment status to Commissioner Joseph Fitzpatrick of the Department of Corrections. Calls to his office on Friday were not returned.
