An Ellington man charged in September with three counts of second-degree sexual assault pleaded not guilty Friday in New London Superior Court, according to the New London Day.

Adam Friedman, 27, is accused of meeting a 15-year-old girl in Waterford on three different occasions, and engaging in sadomasochistic sexual activities with her, the paper said.
