Judge Issues Protective Order in Sex Assault Case

The Danbury man arraigned Wednesday for threatening, first-degree sexual assault, providing alcohol to a minor and fourth-degree sexual assault was ordered to stay away from the victim.

Daniel Colon, 35, City Streets, Danbury, took a protective order from the court marshal and crushed it in his hands a few seconds after Judge Susan Reynolds finished reading it to him.

That caused silence in Danbury Superior Court that ended when Pubic Defender Miles Gerety hurriedly and quietly admonished Colon.

Colon was charged Tuesday with first-degree sexual assault, providing alcohol to a minor, fourth-degree sexual assault and second-degree threatening. Judge Reynods set Colon's bond at $75,000.
