ORLANDO, Fla. — A Maine man was arrested in Florida Tuesday afternoon on a warrant stemming from a three-year investigation.
The Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit—South said in a release Tuesday that Seth Carey, 46, of Rumford had been under investigation since March 2018, when a 34-year-old woman reported to Rumford police that she had been sexually assaulted by Carey.
In 2018, Carey, who lost the 2018 general election for district attorney to incumbent Andrew Robinson, had his law license suspended for three years following the sexual misconduct allegations and after had a permanent protection order placed against him. The order barred him from having any contact with a woman, according to the Associated Press.
