Community rallies as teenager killed in Portsmouth building collapse is identified
The Portsmouth community is rallying as the identity of the teenager killed on June 7 during a graduation party at the Portuguese American Citizens Club has become public. In an obituary posted by Memorial Funeral Home, Kelly Nevitt, 15, is described as "in every way, extraordinary." "She had a voice that could stop you in your tracks and a gift for performing that lit up the stage. Musical theater was her passion, and she shone in her favorite roles – the sassy Rizzo in 'Grease' and the spirited Sister Mary Lazarus in 'Sister Act.' Whether she was singing, dancing, or laughing with friends, Kelly's presence was magnetic," the obituary noted. An animal lover, Nevitt owned a dog and cat and "was known for her quick wit, big heart, and boundless compassion." "She was the funniest, kindest, most loyal friend – the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome and important. She had a special way of lifting others up, always reminding people how much they meant to her," according to the obituary. Nevitt is the daughter of Sharon Nevitt. Nevitt was killed when the concrete landing connecting an exterior stairwell to the second-floor entrance of the Portsmouth Portuguese American Citizens Club building detached from the main structure, trapping two girls underneath. The incident happened during a graduation celebration attended by about 75 people. Portsmouth police said on June 9 that the other girl trapped under the concrete, identified as a 17-year-old, was in critical condition. No update on her condition has since been released. Additionally, a 19-year-old woman from Little Compton was recently released from the hospital after being treated for her injuries, and a 46-year-old man from Portsmouth was not injured enough to be hospitalized. A 49-year-old woman from Merrillville, Indiana, remained in the hospital, where she was being treated for serious injuries. On June 11, a GoFundMe was started in memory of Kelly Nevitt. In the write-up accompanying the fundraiser, it was noted that Nevitt was a freshman at Portsmouth High School and that "her smile and contagious laughter could brighten anyone's day, and her spirit was full of hope, warmth, and compassion." As of the evening of June 11, the fund had received just shy of $5,000. Additionally, Portsmouth coffee shop Grafik Coffee announced on June 10 that it had made "Portsmouth Strong" stickers that would be sold for $10 apiece, with the proceeds to be split evenly among the families of the deceased and the injured. A day after that announcement, the business said that due to high demand, it had ordered another 500 stickers beyond the initial order of 2,000. St. Barnabas Church in Portsmouth has also announced that a Night of Remembrance will be held on Friday, June 13, at 7 p.m., which, while open to all, will give preferential seating to students. It will also be live streamed at According to the obituary, "A Celebration of Kelly's life" will be held on Monday, June 16, at 2 p.m. at Green Valley Country Club, 371 Union St., Portsmouth, "where friends and loved ones are invited to gather and honor the incredible life of a girl who gave us so much in such a short time." The obituary asks that "in honor of Kelly's compassion and creativity, donations may be made in her memory to The Newport Children's Theater, – continuing the love she so freely gave."

Portsmouth track coach charged with attempting to pay for sex with minor
An assistant track coach at Portsmouth High School is facing charges he attempted to pay cash for sex with a 14-year-old female who was an undercover federal agent last month at a Maine hotel. Joseph Auger, 27, of Portsmouth, was charged April 25 with one count of attempted sex trafficking of a minor, alleging he 'knowingly' attempted to 'entice, obtain, patronize and solicit by any means a 14-year-old girl ... to engage in a commercial sex act.' According to court documents, Auger allegedly gave $150 in cash to federal agents at a Best Western hotel in South Portland, Maine, according to a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Maine by HSI Special Agent Abby Mathieu. No minors were involved in the sting operation, the affidavit states. Portsmouth schools Superintendent Zach McLaughlin notified the high school community that Auger had been fired from coaching job on April 30, the same day a federal agent notified school officials of their investigation. Auger is a former athlete at Portsmouth High School, where he ran track. 'Effective immediately, Joseph Auger, an assistant coach from our track team, has been removed from his position due to a legal matter that has come to our attention,' McLaughlin's message said. 'While we understand that news like this can be concerning, I want to assure you that the current legal investigation is not directly connected to the coach's work with our students or athletic program. We are committed to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all students.' According to the affidavit, on or around April 24, law enforcement agents posted an advertisement on a website commonly used to advertise commercial sex acts, containing images of what appeared to be two young females who were 'Ready 2 have some fun,' among other sexually-charged phrases. The ad contained a contact phone number monitored by law enforcement agents, and an undercover agent 'used it to communicate with potential sex buyers, including Joseph Auger,' the affidavit says. Agents monitoring the line pretended to be the sister of a 14-year-old girl available to perform sex acts for money. The affidavit alleges Auger texted the number from one phone saying it would be 'messed up' to have sexual relations with a 14-year-old, but then allegedly texted the number from a different phone and arranged to meet the girl. The affidavit claims Auger went to the Best Western Hotel in South Portland after he was given the address by agents pretending to be the sister of the 14-year-old. 'The defendant arrived at the hotel in a Toyota Tundra, NH registration MONKEE,' the affidavit says. 'The defendant parked his vehicle at the front of the hotel, walked around the backside of the hotel and approached (an undercover agent) who was standing in front of the hotel room. The defendant confirmed he was there for the minor female. He said he had the money and pulled money from his front pocket and gave it to (the undercover agent).' The affidavit says Auger was given a hotel key to the hotel room. Law enforcement then arrested him and took him into custody, later locating his phone in the vehicle. Auger was escorted to a conference room in the hotel, where he was read his Miranda Rights and signed a form agreeing to waive his rights and speak with law enforcement, the affidavit says. He allegedly told investigators he communicated with advertisements on the website prior to that day. 'The defendant initially stated he was going to save the 14-year-old, but later stated that he wanted to have sex with the 14-year-old girl and brought the $150 as payment for a quick visit,' the affidavit says. 'He stated this is the first time he has tried to have sex with a minor female.' An attempt to reach Auger's attorney, William Bly, for comment was unsuccessful. A recent court filing shows federal prosecutors requesting an extension to indict Auger, with responses due by May 22. pfeely@
