NORWICH – A 28-year-old Norwich man stands accused of seven felony charges against a minor following his indictment Wednesday.

Travis M. St. Denny, of Norwich, was charged with two counts of criminal sexual act in the second degree, class D felonies; and five counts of criminal sexual act in the third degree, class E felonies.

According to Judge James E. Downey, an arrest warrant was signed for St. Denny following the indictment Wednesday, but St. Denny appeared Thursday in court voluntarily with his counsel, Alyssa Congdon of Jackson and Bergman. The arrest warrant was vacated by Downey as St. Denny voluntarily appeared.

Congdon waived the reading of the felony complaints against St. Denny in open court, and entered pleas of ‘not guilty’ on behalf of her client on all counts.

Per the indictment, with regard to the class D felonies, it is alleged that St. Denny, in 2010, did engage in a criminal sexual act with a minor less than 15-years-old.
