EAST HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) – East Haven police say a 49-year-old man was charged Friday in connection to a local sexual assault investigation.

Widman Vicuna-Rodriguez, of East Haven, turned himself in Friday. He was charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child.

Investigation into his behavior began last July, after information surfaced in an unrelated Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) investigation.

Police said the suspect was found to have committed the crime during a family gathering in East Haven in 2017.

Vicuna-Rodriguez was held on a $75,000 bond and appeared before a judge Friday morning at G.A. 23 in New Haven.
