UPDATED: A Long Island, N.Y., man has been arrested in connection with alleged sexual abuse at the Boys & Girls Club decades ago.
Paul A. Collins, 62, of Centereach, N.Y., faces numerous charges dating to the 1970s and early '80s, and there are five known victims, Chief Fred Ryan reported Saturday, May 8.
The complaint alleges rape of a child with force, indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, as well as lewdness, open and gross conduct.
Ryan said that following the May 18 arraignment on a fugitive-from-justice charge, Collins waived extradition. He was transported to here by Arlington detectives the evening of May 18.
