He was also arraigned in Somerville District Court April 2 on two counts of indecent assault and battery following an incident that occurred last weekend.
On March 31, Somerville Police Department (SPD) officer William Donovan was dispatched to the Somerville Theater on a report of an assault.
"The victim met him in the lobby and she stated that she had been assaulted and gave a description of the suspect," said Ryan Dunne, a crime analyst for SPD.
While the victim, a minor, was describing her assailant, a second woman approached the officer and told him she had been assaulted a few weeks earlier by a man matching the description.
The victim then spotted Benson inside the theater, and said he was the man who had assaulted her.
When the officer approached
Benson, he ran. The officer then gave chase and caught Benson behind the Davis Square MBTA station.
