Timothy D. Laforge, 28, 76 Fritz Road, Colebrook, is charged with sexual assault in the fourth degree, related to the alleged Feb. 13 incident.

Laforge was repairing a broken water pump outside of a Barkhamsted home over the course of several days. Near the end of the repairs, and near midnight on Feb. 13, Laforge and the 16-year-old girl went to a backyard stream to fetch water to prime a new pump, replacing a broken water pump.

As the victim bent down to the stream to fill several gallon jugs, and as Laforge stood behind her, the man, reached down with his finger and twirled his finger around the victims panties saying something about plumbers crack, according to the victims statement in Laforges arrest warrant.

At this, said the statement, the victim stood up, pulled down her sweatshirt and pulled up her pants.

Laforge then smacked, her rear twice, and the girl told troopers she believed she heard good, spoken. The victim told police the man then, reached in between the victims legs while Laforge stood behind her and patted the victims crotch.

After a two-hour long interview in Connecticut State trooper Nicholas A. Nigro IIIs assigned cruiser, Laforge gave a written statement reading that Any accusation that the victim is false and untrue.

Nigro, however, noted in Laforges arrest warrant that, Laforge appeared to be overly selective with his words and seemed to be withholding information in regard to his involvement in this sexual assault complaint. Laforges physical demeanor seemed remorseful while his words denied any involvement. Laforge seemed to under a great deem of emotional turmoil.

The trooper even told Laforge, simply and politely, that he didnt believe he was being completely truthful, and advised him to call if he wanted to talk further.

Laforge called and was re-interviewed 10 days later, during which he said hed been under the influence of a sedative-type medication, and that he couldnt remember the entire conversation. Continued...
