HAMPTON — Police arrested a Hooksett man Thursday after investigating an in-home caregiver's claim he posed as someone with a brain injury to get her to change his “soiled undergarments.”

HAMPTON — Police arrested a Hooksett man Thursday after investigating an in-home caregiver's claim he posed as someone with a brain injury to get her to change his “soiled undergarments.”



Eric Carrier, 24, is facing one count of attempt to commit indecent exposure, a Class B felony, as a result of an investigation that began on Sept. 12, police said Thursday night.



Police said investigators began looking into Carrier after receiving a report he had solicited the aid of an in-home caregiver by responding to an advertisement on Craigslist. Police allege Carrier used the Web site to find an unsuspecting caregiver who would work with a disabled adult male.



“It is believed that Carrier posed as a 22-year-old male that could not control his bowel movements due to a brain injury. Carrier indicated that he required assistance in changing soiled undergarments,” police said.



A female caregiver met with Carrier on Sept. 12 in Hampton and became suspicious when he requested she change his soiled undergarments, police said. She called authorities, leading to the investigation of Carrier.

Police determined Carrier is not disabled and had been arrested in Hooksett in 2011 for a similar offense. According to police, he was convicted of indecent exposure on July 30.



According to The Associated Press, Carrier used Craigslist to carry out the 2011 crime. When Hooksett police announced those charges, others came forward and claimed Carrier had taken advantage of them in the same way.



Carrier's MySpace page indicates he graduated from Pembroke Academy in 2006 and has worked at grocery stores, including ones in Hooksett and Windham.



The profile, which apparently has not been updated in years, indicates Carrier would like to meet “a girl that can deal with a workaholic and be there in times when I get down on myself.”
