An employee of a Darien restaurant grabbed and hugged a female coworker in the basement of a Darien restaurant without her consent and grabbed her butt, Darien police said. The victim was able to get him off of her by telling him there were surveillance cameras in the basement, police said. Darien police described the incident and investigation with this account (including accusations not proven in court; unless otherwise noted, information about the incident comes from the female employee’s accusation):

The man later admitted to grabbing her in the butt when police detectives interviewed him the next day. Police then applied for an arrest warrant charging him with fourth-degree sexual assault and second-degree unlawful restraint. State Budget Cuts Degrading Public Safety

Because of state budget restrictions in the Connecticut Judicial Branch, the police arrest warrant application sat around for about six weeks in state Superior Court in Stamford before it was signed on June 8.
