An 18-year-old New London man has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault and other charges related to an alleged incident in McCook Point Park in Niantic earlier this summer.

Gabriel Martinez, of 44 Chester Street, entered the plea in to charges of first-degree sexual assault, risk of injury to a child, second-degree breach of peace, and simple trespass. According to The Day, the East Lyme Police Department arrested Martinez on the evening of June 8 on charges of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.

Martinez is free on a $20,000 non-surety bond. The court ordered that he have no contact with the girl and set his next court appearance for Aug. 22.

Very good comparison. I also wanted to add that the Ct. College students that believe what Finizio…Read More has to say remind me of The Children of the Corn. After speaking with a friend we realized that Mayor Finizio is like a college student. I just wish he knew that real life does not work this way. New London has already played this game with the Giordano lady years ago. Remember her she was from Ct. College and also was going to make New London a hip city. We got homeless people and brownfields. So much for that idea. Been their done that. How about a new idea for once. Please don't think about shutting down State St. that too was a bad idea. Just ask Mr. Hyslop and Ms. Glover how their ideas worked out. It doesn't matter anyways it's all about the votes and getting your Children of the Corn on the Council. I mean come on drivers licenses for illigals who ever thought that one up.

I would say that the Collective Bargaining Agreement would have to be looked at for his Union.…Read More Mr. Hathaway is not in Local 1378. He is MEU. I would say, that this is an interesting question for our members. Local 1378's CBA does not go into this language, however it does state that prior to reorganization, the union must be notified to bargain the impacts (not exact language). This is not to say that the union has final say, or say at all as to how the administration shall operate, but the impact to the employees is what matters as well as the position in general. I will look into this language in reference to the Charter and forward it to the MEU as well. Thank you.
