Southington Man Is Charged with Sexual Assault of 10-year-old Girl

A Southington man who already pleaded guilty to several sexual assault charges, has been arrested on new charges stemming from the assault of a 10-year-old girl.

The suspect was arrested Oct. 8 when he appeared in state Superior Court in New Britain on the other charges, according to Southington Police.

Police said they obtained an arrest warrant for Luis M. Maldonado, 33, “after an investigation by the Southington Police Department determined that Maldonado sexually assaulted a 10-year-old female known to him within the Town of Southington in 2013 and 2014.”
