Police arrested a 76-year-old Southington man accused of sexually assaulting a minor in town.
Walter Ronewicz, 76, of Southington, faces a first-degree sexual assault and first-degree risk of injury to a minor charge after the Department of Children and Families received a complaint in June that he sexually assaulted an underage victim in Southington, police said.
Police arrested him on a warrant stemming from investigation into the complaint. Ronewicz cooperated with police as they took him into custody for booking at the police department.
Police held Ronewicz on a $500,000 court-set bond and he is scheduled to appear in Bristol Superior Court on Wednesday.
The arrest warrant has been sealed and no further information was immediately available, police said.
