Jury finds Lincoln man guilty of child molestation
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Attorney General Peter F. Neronha announced that a Lincoln has been found guilty in Providence County Superior Court of multiple counts of second-degree child molestation against three victims between 2016 and 2017.
On April 24, 2024, following a seven-day trial before Superior Court Justice Maureen B. Keough, a jury found Nicholas Oliveira (age 34) guilty of three counts of second-degree child molestation. Additionally, the defendant has been charged with first-degree child molestation in Connecticut. That case remains pending.
During the trial, the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant sexually assaulted three girls under the age of 14, all of whom were known to him, on multiple occasions between July 2016 and December 2017.
Special Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Burke of the Office of the Attorney General and Detective Richard Bousquet of the Lincoln Police Department led the investigation and prosecution of these cases.
Israel's defense minister is criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not having a plan for what to do in Gaza after the war with Hamas is over. Yoav Gallant, who is a member of the same political party as Netanyahu, said that Israel needs to figure out how the war torn Gaza Strip will be governed after shooting and bombing stops. Gallant said that without a plan, the only options are Hamas continuing to rule, or Israeli military rule, both negative outcomes.
