WARWICK, R.I. -- Three Kent County residents were indicted June 16 on charges of sexual assault and molestation involving separate incidents, the Attorney General's Office announced Monday. All of the defendants will be arraigned in Superior Court on Friday.

Marcos Rodriguez, 29, of 1735 Main St. in West Warwick, was indicted on one count each of first-degree and second-degree child molestation on a victim under the age of 14. First-degree child molestation is defined as sexual penetration, while the second degree charge encompasses any sexual contact. The incidents are alleged to have occurred around March 23 in West Warwick. Rodriguez is being held without bail at the ACI.

Bryan Pacheco, 34, of 50 Lexington Ave. in West Warwick, was indicted on three counts of third-degree sexual assault for incidents involving a victim between the ages of 14 and 16. The Rhode Island State Police investigated the incidents, which are alleged to have occurred in West Warwick between April and June 2006. Pacheco's case was presented to the grand jury and resulted in a secret indictment, meaning that it did not originate with an arrest or a prior court case.

Christina Durand, 42, of 385 Moosehorn Rd. in East Greenwich, was indicted on three counts of third-degree sexual assault. Police allege that Durand sexually penetrated a victim between the ages of 14 and 16 sometime between January and April of 2008 while in West Warwick. West Warwick Police conducted the investigation.
