Authorities in Manchester, New Hampshire have charged a man with Identity Fraud following an investigation that began with an altogether different and disturbing allegation. According to a recent Facebook post by the Manchester NH Police, this man, formerly known as Angel Rivera Laureano, faced charges for sexually abusing a child under the age of 13. As the case unfolded, the individual's true identity came into question, leading to a discovery that the perpetrator was masquerading under a stolen identity.
Initially charged with one count of Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assault, the identity of who had been convicted of multiple crimes under that name over more than a decade, remained a mystery to the investigators. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the actual Angel Rivera Laureano was indeed living in Puerto Rico, far removed from the crimes attributed to his name in New Hampshire. Detectives brought into light that the suspect might be living under this assumed identity for years.
With this revelation, the impersonator, now referred to as John Doe, accrued additional charges of Identity Fraud to his existing legal woes. Some detail the case from the authorities indicated that the individual was already behind bars at the Hillsborough County House of Corrections at the time of his second arrest, a detail which may complicate the ongoing investigation as detectives work to unravel his true identity.
As it stands, the true identity of the man who had concealed himself behind Angel Rivera Laureano's identity remains unknown. Manchester Police are appealing to the public for assistance, encouraging anyone with information to step forward. Interested parties or individuals with potential leads are urged to contact "Detective Guy Kozowyk at 603-792-5560 or email him at [email protected]," according to the Manchester NH Police Facebook post.
