Somerville. Just two weeks lat-
er, he was accusedof sexually
assaulting a woman at the Bos-
ton Public Library in Copley
Squareand ordered heldon
$3,500 cashbail.But Suffolk
County prosecutorsdropped
that charge on July 12, citing
the unavailability of two wit-
nesses, allowinghim to go free.
The assault on NU’s campus
happenedjust six days later.
“If someone can’t be out of
jail for morethanone week
without reoffending, he should
be deemeda sexually danger-
ous person,” said Colby Bruno,
senior legalcounsel at the Vic-
tim RightsLaw Center in Bos-
ton. “It’s important in a case
like this where obviously he
lacks the impulse control and
he is a consistentthreat to
women.”
Offenders who are deemed
sexually dangerous remainin
state custody at the Massachu-
setts Treatment Centerin
Bridgewater under a civil com-
mitment law after theircrimi-
nal sentences have ended. Be-
tween 2009and 2017, an aver-
age of 20 people a yearwere
cleared for release after either a
jury or two psychologists con-
cluded they no longer posed a
threat, according to state fig-
ures.
Suffolk County prosecutors
also charged Colson with failing
to register as a sex offenderin
June after policediscoveredhe
wasn’t living at the Roslindale
address he had providedau-
thorities. But a weeklater they
dismissed the charge, saying it
would have beenimpossible for
him to register while in jail.
Theassaultatthepublicli-
brary happened the afternoon
of May 24, when a woman was
washing her handsin a second-
floor ladies room. Colson alleg-
edly emerged froma handi-
capped stall and grabbed her by
the neck, according to court re-
cords.
She fought back, punching
him in the face as he sexually
assaultedher. He fled whenan-
other woman cameout of a stall
and yelledat him to leave the
victim alone, records show.
Boston policereleased a sur-
veillance photograph of the sus-
pect, and Colson was spotted
fourdays later at the library,
sleeping in a chairnearthe la-
dies room where the woman
was assaulted.
On May 29, Colson pleaded
not guilty in Boston Municipal
Court to an indecent assault
and battery charge. A judge or-
dered him to wear a GPS moni-
toring device if he werere-
leased, but Colson couldn’t
make bail and remained in cus-
todyfor six weeksuntil prose-
cutors dismissed the charge.
In a court filing, Suffolk Dis-
trict Attorney Rachael Rollins’s
office wrotethat prosecutors
wereunable to present the case
to a grand jury for indictment
“dueto witnessunavailability.”
As a result, droppingthe charg-
es was “in the interest of jus-
tice,” the filing stated.
In response to inquiries
fromThe Boston Globe, Roll-
ins’s spokeswoman ReneeNa-
deau Algarinsaid in a state-
mentlast weekthat prosecu-
tors “were unable to move
forward in the grand jury with-
out the vitaltestimony of the
victim and a witness — one of
whomwas out of the state and
the otherout of the country.”
They dismissed the case “based
on our ethical and legalobliga-
tions.”
The dismissal “in no way
precludesthe Commonwealth
fromchargingthis offensein
the future,” she said.“Efforts to
obtainthe witnesses’presence
have and will continue.”
Boston police SergeantDe-
tective John Boyle said police
and prosecutors are actively
workingon the investigation
and “we do hope to charge the
individual.”
Colson’s lawyer in that case
did not return calls seeking
comment.
A library spokeswoman de-
clinedto comment on the al-
leged assault, but said the BPL
“hasin placeproceduresand
systemsto ensurethe safety ofuCOLSON
ContinuedfromPageBall its patrons,employees,and
collections” and has received
additionalfundingfor security
in the city’s recentlypassed
budget.
Last month, Colson pleaded
not guilty to the alleged offens-
es at NU and on the Orange
Line, includingassault to rape,
kidnapping, assault and bat-
tery, and openand grosslewd-
ness. He was also charged again
withfailingto register as a sex
offenderafter he was released
from jail in July.
At his arraignmentfor the
Orange Lineincident, his law-
yer, RossE. Schreiber, said Col-
son had beenunable to provide
the sex offender registry board
a valid address because he was
homeless.He had beenstaying
at the Pine Street Inn but need-
ed to remainthere a few days
longer to obtain the paperwork
he needed to register.
“He’s living handto mouth
on the street,” Schreiber said.
“He’s got no one on the outside
that could assist him.He’s es-
tranged fromhis parents and
anyoneelse he couldrely on in
the area.”
Attorney Eric Tennen, who
has no involvementin Colson’s
case but has representedmany
sex offenders, saidthere is a
“glaring gap”in the criminal
justice system for releasedsex
offenders who may be suffering
frommental healthissuesor
substance abuse but are often
denied access to services.
“Therereallyis nothing
available to most men and espe-
cially sex offenders that helps
themtransition out of prison or
jail, so they are left to theirown
devices,” Tennen said. “The
criminal justice system is good
at charging and incarcerating
them, but it’s not good at get-
ting help.”
On July 26, a Roxbury Mu-
nicipal Court judge ordered
Colson held without bail on at-
tempted rape charges in the NU
assault. Prosecutorswerepre-
paredto present evidencethat
Colson would pose a threat to
the community if released, but
Colson’s lawyerwaived the
hearing and agreed to his de-
tention.
Colson has a lengthy crimi-
nal record,whichincludescon-
victions for sexual assault, as-
sault with a dangerous weapon,
and violating a restrainingor-
der.
In November 2017, Colson
slipped into the ladiesroom at
the Davis SquareMBTA Station
in Somerville, dropped his
pants to exposehis genitals,
and groped a woman whenshe
emerged froma stall, court re-
cords show.
He pleadedguilty to inde-
centassault and battery and
was sentencedto 18 monthsin
jail. Middlesex District Court
Judge Jean M. Curran told him
he was required to registeras a
sex offender when he was re-
leasedand warnedhim that “at
somepoint” prosecutors might
seek to have him declared sexu-
ally dangerous.
That never happened.
Two weeks after his sen-
tenceended,Colson was again
hiding out in a ladies bath-
room,authoritiessay, waiting
for another victim.Andrea Estes and John

and he was in cuffs up against
the wall,” she said.
ArunBudsatsoki, owner of
the Subway shop in The Ga-
rage, said he hearda noise and
saw panicked people running
into his store.
“They cameinsidethe Sub-
way, in our store, so we took
themin backin the alleyway
whereit was safe,” he said.
He saidthe soundmight
have been from a chair
knocked overwhile people
werefleeing. “[It was]not only
one or two people, everybody,
morethan50 peoplerunning,”
he said.
He said the chaos was over
in five minutes.
“We wereconfused —
what’s happening? — And

mass shootingsin Texas and
Ohiothis weekend.
“My brotherwas pretty con-
