West Haven police have arrested a 42-year-old local man accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.
Police began investigating Gary Gray on Sept. 9, 2012, when the girl’s mother reported that her daughter confided that she believed she had sex with a family friend, police said.
Forensic examinations and medical evaluations revealed that the child had injuries consistent with a sexual assault, police said.
When police interviewed Gray, he said “Last time I admitted it, this time I’m not admitting it,’’ according to a news release from Sgt. David Tammaro, of West Haven police.
Detectives discovered that Gray has previous arrests for accusations of sexual assault and risk of injury to a child.
New Haven police are also investigating Gary in connection with a sexual assault that might have taken place in the city, police said.
Gray was charged with first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child.
He was held on $100,000 bond.
