Mystic Man Charged With Sexual Assault: Police

GROTON, CT — A man previously charged this spring in a voyeurism and assault weapons case has also been charged with sexual assault, according to police.

Michael Landon, 37, last known address in Mystic, was charged with first-degree sexual assault, first-degree possession of child pornography, illegal sexual contact with a victim under 16 years old, employing a minor in an obscene performance, and promoting a minor in an obscene performance.

Police said that investigators discovered "illicit sexual content" during a search of Landon's cell phone following his arrest this spring.

"This content included a video which depicted Landon subjecting a minor to a sexual act which constituted sexual intercourse as defined in Connecticut General Statutes," according to a police statement.

Police applied for an arrest warrant which was approved. Police found Landon on Patricia Court in Ledyard on Wednesday afternoon and arrested him.

He was held on $1 million bond. He is scheduled for arraignment in New London Superior Court on Thursday.

Previously, Landon was charged in April with voyeurism with malice, disseminating voyeuristic material, and injury or risk of injury to, or impairing morals of, children.

As a result of that investigation, police searched a firearm safe belonging to Landon and found two illegal assault weapons, police said in a statement.

Landon was charged with two counts of possession of assault weapons in that case.

Anyone with information on the case can call the Groton Town Police Department at (860) 441-6712.
