I hope he never sees the light of day again. I dealt with him and his "partner" who also is indited. They both are the worst kind of people and need to be confined.

The saga of the lawsuits will be long and painful for all involved but the marina will also change hands to the victims I believe.

Couldn’t agree more except with the “confined part…. If found guilty they should bring back public stoning!

I suspect that instead of the victims actually winding up owning WAM it will be sold to a third party and net sale proceeds will be distributed to the victims.

Let’s hope he can’t harm anyone in his remaining life span.

A 25 year sentence for a 56 year old should take care of the problem for a long time!

He has kidney cancer, he’ll be dead in less than 10…

This was for the federal charges. He still faces State charges as well as 8 civil suits according to WMUR.

Hopefully Fortier gets similar.

I am sure prison won't be kind to them. These type of offenders aren't looked upon positively by fellow inmates.

At least nobody will claim he is getting a “bum” rap!

Murray was also indicted on three counts of aggravated felonious assault and one count of sexual assault involving a victim aged 13 to 15. Those charges will be adjudicated at the state level.

Jack Shack? What the hell? The whole family should go down in flames for this. You can’t tell me that the sisters didn’t know of this. Put a for sale sign on it and lock then all up. I hope they lose the place to civil suits. Absolutely disturbing…

How has all of this negative publicity affected WAM?

It appears they're in the midst of an expansion.

[TiltonBB]

Fortier’s attorneys say the defense needs additional time to examine certain documents related to the case.

A final pretrial hearing in Murray’s case has been scheduled for April 28, with jury selection set to begin on May 15.

It hasn’t, new 800’ of dock just installed with a current waiting list.
Also more dredging this summer for additional dock installation.

People can make their own choices related to their knowledge of this entire situation. They will not be getting any of our money to pay for lawyer's fees. We'll let the legal system figure this out, and then decide if we want to have a slip at their facility.

No Problem. Your Loss! When we get done with the new facility it will be the envy of the Lake. I believe this is going to be just the start. 3 Years when the total project is done. All I can say now is " WOW ". Please have an incredible summer this season.

Did you really just throw shade at a guy who said he didn't want to give money to a child molester?

"We?" Do you have an ownership interest in the marina?

Several potential buyers have looked at it as an investment but there is $8.5 million in debt on the property.

The second problem, after that debt, is the liens on the property from the victims who have suits against the offenders.

It would be difficult for anyone to purchase the property without knowing how it will all settle out and that will take time. What a mess!

[Mr. V]

Is the ownership of WAM corportate, partnership, or sole proprietors?

That is a strange and uncomfortable response. Perhaps you are a family member to the owners but I think it is safe to say your response was compassionately zero.

What is clear is that the victims of the abuse will have an ownership interest in the business as they should. Brian and his wife are sick folks who will be kept up late in prison at night for social activities.
