Convicted sex offender found guilty, sentenced for sexually touching, exposing himself to minors

MEDFORD, Maine (WABI) -A convicted sex offender was found guilty and sentenced on new charges involving sexually abuse and exposing himself to minors.

Officials say he’s out on bail pending an appeal.

The Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Office says a jury found 63-year-old William Bradbury guilty last week for unlawful sexual touching and indecent conduct.

They say they starting investigating him in October 2023 after reports involving two minor females from Medford who said a man had exposed himself and touched them in a sexual manner.

They searched his home in Medford and he was arrested in May 2024.

He was found guilty and sentenced to six months last Thursday.

Back in July of 2017, Bradbury was involved in a 22-hour standoff with police when they were arresting him for sexually abusing a minor.

He was convicted of the charges in 2018 and required to register as a lifetime sex offender.
