BY JENNIFER CABRERA

Cory Shaun Pariseau, 32, was arrested yesterday evening and charged with sexual assault on a 16-year-old victim. A witness who knows both Pariseau and the victim called 911 and said she believed Pariseau was suicidal; the investigation of the sexual assault stemmed from a well-being check prompted by the call.

Pariseau is being held on $100,000 bond.
