ROXBURY — Police arrested a 46-year-old Dixfield man on Friday after a woman accused him of raping and assaulting her.

Bruce Ellsworth Quattrociocchi, also known as Bruce Mann, of Mease Road was charged with gross sexual assault, aggravated assault and domestic assault. He remained at the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn on Tuesday afternoon.

The woman’s daughter called police at about 4:30 a.m. Friday to report that her mother and Quattrociocchi were fighting at the Roxbury boat launch. Trooper Jason Wing of the Maine State Police responded to the scene, where the woman told him Quattrociocchi had threatened to kill her and hit her in the face.

Wing’s report said the woman said Quattrociocchi grabbed and bruised her breast during the argument. She also said Quattrociocchi sexually assaulted her in a Canton residence Aug. 22.

Officer Lawrence Winson of the Rumford Police Department, Sgt. Timothy Holland of the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office, and Trooper Ron Turnick of the Maine State Police also assisted with the incident.

Quattrociocchi was taken by ambulance from the boat launch to the Rumford Hospital after telling the officers that he thought he was having a heart attack.

Quattrociocchi denied threatening the woman, and said he accidentally hit her while trying to adjust a mirror in his truck. He said he and the woman were in a consensual sexual relationship.

Wing said Quattrociocchi later started swearing at him and demanding that the woman stop calling his family. He said he wanted to press charges against the woman for harassment, and that his brother would kill her if she did not stop calling.

At his initial appearance in Lewiston District Court on Monday, Quattrociocchi’s bail was set at $10,000 cash or $50,000 worth of real estate. He must have no contact with the woman, and may argue for a supervised pretrial release once the state has investigated his aliases.
