DOVER - The Rochester man already serving a four- to eight-year sentence for the brutal rape of an adult female in August of 2021 was found guilty on Monday of raping a juvenile girl six months earlier.
Scott Barrett, 50, formerly of Charles Street, Rochester, was found guilty of five counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault. It took the jury less than a day to reach a verdict.
The assaults on the juvenile by the six-foot-two, 330 pound Barrett all occurred between Jan. 1 and Jan. 31, 2021, during which he had sexual contact with the minor in Rochester.
Each of the five counts carries a 10-20 years sentence.
In the August 2021 rape Barrett was found guilty of three charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault (against a physically helpless victim) following a jury trial in Strafford Superior Court in April of 2024. He was sentenced in October of 2024.
That rape occurred after a female companion of Barrett broke off a sexual encounter the night of Aug. 31, 2021, when she began to feel unwell, took a Tylenol and went to sleep.
Over the next few days she began to feel pain in her lower abdomen and confronted Barrett, who said he'd stopped the encounter after she became unconscious, according to court documents.
But the victim's pain and concerns remained, and on Sept. 4, 2021, she decided to review footage from a camera located in her bedroom.
According to the sentencing memorandum, "While reviewing the recording (the victim) observed the defendant engaging in sexual intercourse and sexual conduct over a period of one hour, while (the victim) appears to be unconscious."
Barrett's sentencing on Monday's guilty verdicts will occur sometime this summer.
