Limestone Technologies<\/a> vice president Tyler Buttle faces a 5 June 2013 pre-trial hearing on charges of assaulting with intent to rape a woman he met at a conference on sexual abuse. The conference<\/a>, held 10-12 April 2013 in Marlborough, Massachusetts and co-hosted by the Massachusetts Adolescent Sex Offender Coalition<\/a> and the Massachusetts Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers<\/a>, was titled, “Preventing Sexual Violence Through Assessment, Treatment and Safe Management.”<\/p>\n

According to CBS Boston<\/a>, Buttle , who is married with one child, paid to attend the conference in order to sell equipment for Limestone. CBS describes the alleged assault thus:<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say he met the woman while attending a conference on Thursday at the Best Western Royal Plaza in Marlborough.<\/p>\n

According to the police report, the woman \u201cobtained a ride\u201d with Buttle later that night.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Julianne Richard says Buttle drove the woman from the Westender bar in Marlborough to a remote parking lot near the Pheasant Hill Community in Northborough, where he assaulted her.<\/p>\n

Police say he reached under her dress, and touched her buttocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim attempted to run away from the suspect, however the suspect ran after the victim, (led) her back to his vehicle, and assaulted her again,\u201d the police report stated.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the woman escaped a second time, ran off, hid in some bushes, and eventually knocked on the door of a home on Main Street around 2 a.m. in the rain.<\/p>\n

The homeowner called 911 and police tracked down Buttle back at the Best Western, where he was staying.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A report<\/a> by Matt Stout of the Boston Herald<\/em> adds that according to Northboro Detective Sergeant Brian Griffin, the victim knocked at the homeowner’s door “soaking wet and barefoot.” A report<\/a> by Sam Bonacci and Charlene Arsenault of\u00a0 website MarlboroughPatch<\/a> adds, “[B]uttle crashed his truck after leaving the scene of the assault, but the vehicle was drivable, with only minor damage to property on Main Street in Northborough, said police.”<\/p>\n

Buttle, of Inverary, Ontario is free on $5,000 bail. According to MarlboroughPatch<\/a>, the specific charges he faces are indecent assault and battery and assault with intent to rape.<\/p>\n

Limestone Technologies of Odessa, Ontario, Canada is one of four major polygraph instrument manufacturers in North America. On his Linkedin profile, Buttle describes his responsibilities at Limestone thus:<\/p>\n
