BILLERICA - Billerica police have charged a 61-year-old homeless man with five counts of rape of a child after a concerned citizen reported suspicious activity on Sunday night.
Police say Dennis Collins was also charged with payment of sex for a fee, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and assault of a child with intent to rape.
Police say someone called police to report seeing an older man in a car with a young boy Sunday about 10:50 p.m.
When the caller approached the car, the man drove off. The caller, fearing for the boy's safety, followed and contacted police to tell them the location of the vehicle. The suspicious car drove into Burlington, where it was stopped by Burlington police.
Police did not release the age of the boy.
Collins was held without bail pending arraignment Tuesday morning.
