Hearing is continued for man accused of sex assault

A bail violation hearing today for Gary P. Lamountain, a convicted sex offender whom the police accuse of breaking into a home and sexually assaulting a woman last month, was continued to next Wednesday.

Early on Aug. 12, the police have said, Lamountain broke into that woman’s apartment and raped her -- a woman he had helped the day before with moving an air conditioner into her apartment. He was arrested after a four-hour search and was charged with first-degree sexual assault and breaking and entering.

The woman was treated and released from Women & Infants Hospital in Providence.

Residents learned from the police two days after the incident that Lamountain was a convicted sexual offender. He was released from prison and on probation for a rape in town that occurred four years ago, according to authorities.
