A new DNA database match has led to the arrest of a man in connection with a 1984 kidnapping and sexual assault in Connecticut, police announced Thursday.
Avon police said they served an arrest warrant on George Legere, 73, at the Hampden County jail in Springfield, Massachusetts, where authorities arrested him on May 19.
Legere is charged with three counts of first-degree kidnapping in the abduction and sexual assault of a person found in a vehicle slumped over the steering wheel with the horn sounding in Avon at about 4 a.m. on April 13, 1984.
It wasn’t clear if Legere has a lawyer who could respond to the allegations.
