Pair Arrested in Connection with Sexual Assault of Child Over 20 Years Ago

A Manchester couple turned themselves in to the police in relation to allegations that date back more than 20 years.

Late last year, a woman came forward with information about alleged sexual abuse that she endured when she was a child. Through the course of the investigation, police learned that Daniel O’Dell, 53, assaulted her on multiple occasions when she was approximately nine years old, and his girlfriend, Sherry Letendre, 41, was present during these assaults.

O’Dell was charged with Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assault (Pattern) on a Child. Letendre was charged with Criminal Liability to Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assault (Pattern) on a Child. Both charges are felonies.

Their bail was each set at $350 cash, and they will likely be arraigned on March 19, 2024, in Manchester District Court.
