The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office has charged a Sebago man with gross sexual assault following reports he had sex with a girl younger than 14.

Deputies charged Nicholas M. Harrington, 20, on Monday and he was arraigned in Portland District Court Wednesday. He is free on bail pending a trial.

A release from the sheriff’s office said Harrington and the girl knew each other and there was no evidence of coercion, though that is not required for someone to be guilty of sexual assault on someone younger than 14.
