Maine Man Handcuffed After Attending Wedding

WINSLOW, Maine — A Sidney man who was charged earlier this year with sex trafficking is in trouble again, this time for attending a wedding in Winslow.

The Kennebec Journal reports that 47-year-old Frederick Horne was handcuffed by police in the parking lot of Fort Halifax Park on Sunday. He was summoned to appear in court on two counts of violating conditions of his earlier release.

Kennebec County District Attorney Maeghan Maloney says Horne violated those terms by associating with the bride and another woman at the wedding. The women had been among several found at Horne's home in April when he and his son were charged with sex trafficking for allegedly running a prostitution operation.

The new charges are misdemeanors. Horne was released after being taken to the local police station.
