Man Fondled Acquaintance, Touched Himself Inappropriately: Cops

A Waterbury man is facing charges after police say he arrived uninvited at the home of an acquaintance in Watertown, fondled the woman over her clothing and touched himself inappropriately.

John Rick, 50, of Waterbury, was arrested Friday and charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and disorderly conduct.

Police said Rick showed up at the home of a female acquaintance in the Oakville section of Watertown on July 2. Although he had not been invited into the home, police said he did not force his way inside.

According to police, Rick grabbed the woman's breasts over her clothes and began touching himself in a lewd manner inside her home. He left when the resident asked him to.

Rick was released from custody after posting $2,500 bond. He's due in court the morning of Aug. 11. It's not clear if he has an attorney.
