Police charged Craig Mayo, 59, of Danbury, with first-degree sexual assault, criminal attempt to commit sexual assault and risk of injury for impairing the morals of a child last year.

The Danbury Police Department received a report in April 2019 from the girl's mother, alleging that Mayo, "touched her private areas" and would not stop when the toddler told him to, according to court documents. Mayo, who was dating the girl's grandmother at the time, was living in the same house with the girl and her family.

Police arrested Mayo Feb. 28. He was released on a $200,000 bond, and an Order of Protection was filed on behalf of his victim.
