Juvenile Sex Assault

Based on a complaint that they received early this year, police on June 8 arrested a 15-year-old boy on a warrant, charging him with first degree unlawful restraint, fourth degree sexual assault, and risk of injury to a minor.

Police provided no details on the nature of the incident which prompted the criminal charges.

After processing the boy’s arrest, police transported him to a juvenile detention center in Bridgeport, where he was held for a June 9 arraignment on the charges in Danbury Juvenile Court.

Because the boy is under age 16, his identity is shielded by state law.
