A suspected child rapist found dangling from a rope in the woods was cut down and now faces jail time for a litany of charges from porn to indecent assault and battery on a little girl.

State Police report Friday night that Rickland Powell, 59, of Belmont, “had hung himself from a tree” in Stoneham but was still alive when a K-9 officer and her dog hunted him down.

“Troopers and Officers cut the suspect down. The suspect was still alive and was transported to an area hospital,” police report. “The Belmont Police Department, which conducted the investigation that led to the child rape warrants against Powell, assumed custody of him.”

He was captured before dawn Friday in Stoneham woodland.

Belmont detectives had already obtained a warrant for the following offenses: Rape of a Child with Force (four counts); Aggravated Statutory Rape (four counts); Indecent Assault and Battery on a Child Under 14 (two counts); Posing a Child in a Sex Act; and Distributing Obscene Material.

“The charges stem from evidence indicating that Powell raped a female child multiple times,” State Police said in a statement.

A team of officers from the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and US Marshals Service Task Force Officers headed the search. Belmont, Stoneham, and Cambridge Police and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department assisted in the search.

He is accused of photographing the alleged victim inside his Belmont home.

He was arraigned Friday in Cambridge District Court and is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing Dec. 8.
