A Massachusetts man is expected to be arraigned in Norwich today on charges he repeatedly sexually assaulted his young former stepsister. Nicholas J. Rufo, 20, of Longmeadow, Mass., turned himself in to state police in Colchester last week. He faces multiple felony counts, including first-degree sexual assault of a victim younger than 10, which carries a mandatory minimum 10 years in prison with a conviction. Police say the sexual assaults occurred between 2001 and 2005 in LEBANON, starting when the victim was 5 and Rufo was 13, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. When confronted with the allegations, police said Rufo admitted to the assaults, which occurred on regular weekend stays in LEBANON. The victim told police Rufo would invite her to play video games in his room, where many of the sexual assaults took place. “Nicholas Rufo said that as he got older, he realized what he was doing was wrong and just stopped doing it,” LEBANON Resident Trooper Mark Maynard wrote in his report. The incidents occurred until Rufo was between the ages of 16 and 17 and the victim was 8, police said. Police first learned of the allegations in April after the now 12-year-old girl told  her mother she had been abused, police said. Free on $50,000 bond, Rufo faces charges of aggravated first-degree sexual assault, third-degree sexual assault, fourth-degree sexual assault and three counts of risk of injury to a minor. ...
