After an investigation and the identification of several victims, the police issued an arrest warrant for Adrees.
Adrees turned himself in to police on Friday and was charged with two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of harm to a child.
He was released after posting a $100,000 cash bond set by the court. He is due to appear in Manchester Superior Court on June 17.
