A Strafford man is facing 21 felony charges for allegedly sexually abusing a child for multiple years.
Duane Shaw, 70, was charged Friday with multiple counts of child molestation, statutory sodomy and attempted enticement of a child.
According to court documents, Greene County Sheriff's Office deputies started investigating Shaw after a woman came forward to report that Shaw had sexually abused her beginning when she was about 5 years old up until she was 13.
Court documents say that after the woman came to law enforcement with the allegations, detectives had her call Shaw while they secretly recorded.
During the conversation, Shaw allegedly apologized and made statements that seemingly acknowledged he had molested the woman when she was younger, according to court documents.
