A Barnstable County grand jury has indicted a Cape Cod music instructor on more than a dozen counts of sexual abuse of two young students.
Stephen B. Lindberg, 55, of Marstons Mills will likely be arraigned on four counts of rape of a child, six counts of indecent assault and battery on a person under the age of 14, three counts of indecent assault and battery on a person over the age of 14 and one count of violating a restraining order, Cape and Islands Assistant District Attorney Sharon Thibeault said.
“My client vigorously denies these charges,” said William A. Korman, Lindberg’s defense attorney. “Based on the nature of the charges, we’re not surprised the district attorney decided to present evidence to a grand jury.” …
At the time of his arrest, Lindberg was working as music director at Unity on Cape Cod church in Hyannis. The Rev. Steve Cordry, the church’s pastor, said he fired Lindberg, who held the position on a contract basis since 2007, when he became aware of the charges against him.
