MIDDLETON — A Level 3 sex offender awaiting trial at Middleton Jail has been charged with flinging blood onto a corrections officer.

Debbie Moccia, 55, a transgendered woman who is also known as Paul Charbonneau, was arraigned yesterday in Salem District Court on a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, her own blood, on the officer in December.

Prosecutor Patrick Collins told a judge that on Dec. 11, the guard encountered Moccia slicing her arms in her cell.
