Police Desperately Seek Teen Runaway And Her Carny Boyfriend To Give Them Their Book And Movie Deals, Schedule For Appearances On Daytime TV

Authorities in Franklin County are seeking the public’s help in finding a missing Twin Cities teenager and the 30-year-old man who they say refuses to return her to her family. Fifteen-year-old Opal Swearingen was reported missing by her New Sharon foster parents on the morning of June 12. She is believed to be traveling with Charles Fontenot, a 30-year-old Lewiston man authorities later discovered she was having a sexual relationship with, Franklin County authorities said. Fontenot is being sought by authorities on a felony warrant charging him with sexual abuse of a minor and criminal restraint. The legal age of consent in Maine is 16. A search of the Sun Journal archives shows Fontenot has had several run-ins with authorities over the years, including charges ranging from disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and theft to operating under the influence, operating after suspension, reckless conduct and driving to endanger. Franklin County Detective David St. Laurent said Fontenot has had limited contact with family members over the last two weeks, but has thus far refused to return Swearingen to her home. “He’s made the statement that ‘I can’t go to prison,’” St. Laurent said.
