A registered level 2 sexual offender faces a new position after allegedly grabbing a female victim on Tremont street near Crossing and Boston Common center, authorities said.
Dorchester Man Kenneth Osborne, 65, has been accused of indecent assault and aggression to a person over 14 years.
On Friday afternoon, the spectators marked Boston police officers to report an indecent assault about 178 Tremont St.
The alleged visibly distressed victim told the police that he was on her phone when an unknown man, later identified as Osborne, pressed against her and grabbed her buttocks.
She told the police that Osborne fled to Boylston Street when she turned and asked: “Do I know you?”
She tried to follow Osborne as she filmed it with her phone, but could not keep up and lost sight of.
The officers who responded transmitted Osborne’s description to other police in the area.
About 30 minutes later, the police found and arrested Osborne in the city center. The officers made a field identification with the victim, who told them: “That is the man who was chasing.”
Osborne was sentenced by assault on violation and indecent assault and aggression in 2006, and sentenced to state prison.
“While it is a luck that this victim did not suffer physical injuries, no one should minimize the fear and personal violation that he experienced, nor the impact that incidents like this have on our sense of security of the neighborhood and quality of life,” Suffolk da Kevin Hayden said in a statement.
Judge Richard Sinnott ordered Osborne to maintain a bail of $ 5,000 with GPS monitoring if released.
The next date in the Osborne court is March 5 for a prior hearing.
