Convicted sex offender due in court today

A convicted sex offender now accused of raping a woman in Cumberland is scheduled for a bail violation hearing in Superior Court, Providence, this morning.

Gary P. Lamountain, a level three, or “high-risk” sex offender, was arrested Aug. 12 after a 27-year-old woman accused him of breaking into her Cumberland apartment and raping her.

Lamountain was released from the Adult Correctional Institutions on April 23 after serving just over three years of a five-year prison sentence for raping a 38-year-old Cumberland woman and stealing her stereo in 2004.

Police had prepared a letter notifying neighbors that a high-risk sex offender had moved into the neighborhood four days before he allegedly committed this latest crime. The notice was posted on the police department’s Web site the day after Lamountain's arrest.

Magistrate Joseph Keough will consider violations for each of the three charges Lamountain faces: first-degree sexual assault;, felony assault; and forgery and counterfeiting.
