Local man charged with sexual assault

GOFFSTOWN - A Goffstown man is under arrest and charged with sexually assaulting a woman and then offering her money for sex.

According to police, a 22-year-old woman had responded to a business card that was left on her car by Brian Cote, a 42-year-old Goffstown man. 

On the business card, Cote indicated that he was the owner of "GSE Powersports" and was looking for people interested in part-time work. 

When the woman called Cote, police said he told her he was looking for models for a calendar.

A photo shoot was scheduled with the alleged victim. 

During the shoot, the victim claims that Cote touched her in a sexual manner and then offered her money to have sex with him. 

Cote is charged with two counts of sexual assault, one count of prostitution and one count of simple assault. Cote was released on $5,000 cash bail.

He will be arraigned in Manchester District Court on Oct. 27.
