Christian Leggett, a 25-year-old resident of Bridport, Vermont, has been charged with one felony count of sexual assault. The charge follows an investigation by the Vermont State Police.

Leggett appeared in Vermont Superior Court, Addison Criminal Division, where he pleaded not guilty. Judge Alison Arms set conditions for his release that restrict his contact with the victim and witnesses and prohibit any abuse or harassment toward the victim.

The Attorney General’s Office stated: “The Attorney General’s Office emphasizes that individuals charged with a crime are legally presumed innocent until their guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
