The arrest stems from a complaint the Shelton Detective Bureau took from a 14-year-old Shelton girl. The 14-year-old victim claimed she was sexually assaulted by a man near the Riverwalk on Canal Street in Shelton in August of 2018. 

The victim did not know the man well and did not know his real name, claiming the man got her intoxicated and then assaulted her, according to police.

After a thorough investigation by the Shelton Police Department’s Youth Officer, Alexander Liebhart of Shelton was identified and an arrest warrant was subsequently obtained.

Liebhart was arrested on Wednesday, Jan. 2 and charged him with second-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child.

Leibhart was held on a $75,000 bond and arraigned in Derby Superior Court.
