Man Charged With Sex Assault After Strawberry Festival

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — A 62-year-old South Windsor man has been charged with fourth-degree sexual assault after an alleged incident during the Strawberry Festival in June, police said.

John H. Sandberg was arrested July 27 on an active warrant, according to the South Windsor Police Department.

Police said the charge stems from a June incident in which Sandberg allegedly made inappropriate contact with a victim during a volunteer event.

Investigators told Patch the volunteer event was the Strawberry Festival, held June 13. The alleged victim was an adult woman who knew Sandberg through the event, Cleverdon said.

Sandberg was taken into custody at Rockville Superior Court, processed and released on a $2,500 non-surety bond, police said.

He is scheduled to appear in Manchester Superior Court at 9 a.m. Aug. 12.
