SALEM – A homeless man accused of terrorizing a 17-year-old girl as he apparently raped and indecently touched her inside an elevator at the Central Square Commuter Rail station in Lynn earlier this month was one of two men indicted Wednesday afternoon by an Essex County grand jury.Joseph Sarcione, 23, homeless, of Cambridge, is charged with two counts of rape, two counts of assault and battery as well as a single count of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14.The charges arise out of an incident on the night of June 6 shortly after 8 p.m., when the 17-year-old victim said she was waiting at the train station for a train to Gloucester after visiting a Lynn friend.The suspect approached her, asking to borrow a lighter, while trying to start a conversation with her.The girl said she walked away and realized after looking at the train schedule she had missed the Gloucester train. She decided to return to her friend’s home. As the elevator doors opened, Sarcione allegedly pushed her inside.She told police he placed his hand around her neck as he raped her and inappropriately fondled her.She repeatedly begged him to stop. It did not end until the elevator doors opened and two men were standing on the platform level.The two men, one in a wheelchair, observed the victim who was crying and yelling for them to help her.Sarcione fled and the two men brought the girl to the police station where she reported the sexual assault and then was taken to North Shore Children’s Hospital for treatment.The indictments handed up now move the case from Lynn District Court to Salem Superior Court where Sarcione will be re-arraigned within a few weeks.In the meantime, he remains held without bail at the Middleton Jail after a district court judge deemed him a danger to the victim and public.A conviction on each of the rape charges carries up to 20 years in state prison.Assistant District Attorney Kristen R. Buxton is assigned to prosecute the case.Also indicted was Karl Lamont Hackney, 45, 69 North Common St., #21, Lynn, charged with possession of heroin with the intent to distribute, possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, carrying a firearm without a license, subsequent offense, and carrying a loaded firearm.The charges stem from an incident in Lynn on June 3 when Lynn police responded to Hackney’s apartment on a report of gunshots fired inside.Upon arrival, Lynn Police Officer Josh Hilton saw Hackney walking down the street, but when he saw police, he took off.Hilton chased Hackney on foot on North Common until he was apprehended.During the pursuit, Hackney threw down a loaded 9mm silver handgun, which police retrieved.Police also located a plastic bag on the ground nearby Hackney containing 21 twists of cocaine and three twists of heroin.When officers later checked Hackney’s apartment they found a bullet hole in the ceiling, according to reports.Hackney previously was convicted of illegal possession of a firearm in 2002 out of Boston Federal Court.He presently is on probation at Salem Superior Court on a charge of resisting arrest stemming from an incident in Lynn in 2008.The indictments now move the case from Lynn District Court, where he has pleaded innocent, to Salem Superior Court, where he will be re-arraigned within a few weeks.In the meantime, he remains held at the Middleton Jail in lieu of $4,500 cash bail.Assistant District Attorney Kristen R. Buxton is prosecuting the case.Indictments are not an indication of guilt: rather it is a legal process that allows a case to be transferred from District Court to Superior Court, allowing for a more severe punishment.
