PUTNAM — Putnam Police last week arrested Norwich resident Juan R. Vargas, 45, on charges of first-degree sexual assault, third-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor.
Putnam Police Chief Christopher D. Ferace said the arrest stems from an investigation initiated in 2023.
Currently Vargas is housed on an unrelated offense in the Corrigan Correctional Institution in Uncasville and the warrant was served in Danielson Superior Court. All accused are presumed innocent.
