Tyler Hartt, 27, pleaded guilty in Rockingham (NH) Superior Court to four counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault as part of a plea deal, Exeter (NH) police said.
Prosecutors from two jurisdictions had charged him with one count of felonious sexual assault and ten counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, Sea Coast Online reported.
Investigators arrested Hartt on Oct. 5, 2021, after the parents of a boy told investigators that he was abusing their son, the newspaper said. Police said the abuse began when the child was in third grade and continued until he was in eighth. Exeter investigators said Hartt would show the boy pornography as they sat in his car before he assaulted the child, the news report said.
Hartt must undergo counseling and treatment as part of the plea deal, avoid all contact with the victim, and register as a sexual offender, the report said.
