PORTLAND ( AP) — Authorities have arrested a 41-year-old Baldwin man they say gave girls under the age of 18 money and drugs to perform sexual acts on each other in his presence.
The Cumberland County Sheriff ’s Office announced that Robert Brower was arrested Thursday on multiple prostitution and drug related charges.
He is being held on $25,000 bail pending arraignment scheduled for today.
