Cape Cod Police Arrest Man for Attempted Child Sexual Abuse – NBC Boston

Cape Cod police say a man has been arrested after allegedly attempting to sexually assault a child during a soccer game on Tuesday.

Officers responded to the Peter Homer Memorial Park in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, shortly before 8 p.m. after callers reported a man luring a 5-year-old behind the park’s restrooms.

The child screamed and chased away the alleged attacker, police said, who was seen riding away on an electric bicycle.

On Wednesday afternoon, police arrested 27-year-old Ryan Evans of Dennis after executing a search warrant.

According to Yarmouth police, Evans was previously charged in 2021 with assault with intent to rape a child; unarmed burglary and assault; assault and battery, and theft.

It was not immediately clear whether Evans had an attorney who could answer for the charges against him.
