Wilton Man Arrested After Juvenile Reported Sexual Assault While Jogging: Police

WILTON, CT — A 24-year-old Wilton man was arrested Sunday after a juvenile reported being sexually assaulted while jogging near Allen's Meadows, according to police.

Officers responded to Wilton High School at approximately 10:55 a.m. June 21 after receiving a report that a juvenile had been sexually assaulted while exercising outdoors in the area of Allen's Meadows, police said.

According to police, the victim told officers a man approached while the juvenile was jogging, introduced himself and attempted to make conversation before allegedly groping the victim. Police said the juvenile was able to run away and seek help from a group of people at Wilton High School, who immediately called 911.

During their search of the area, officers spotted a white Toyota Tacoma in the Allen's Meadows parking lot, but the vehicle left shortly afterward, police said. Officers then went to the registered owner's home and spoke with the owner's son, identified by police as Scott Dobos, 24, of Wilton.

Police said Dobos acknowledged he had been in the area but denied contacting the victim. Investigators said Dobos matched the description provided by the juvenile, who later identified him as the person who allegedly committed the assault.

Dobos was arrested and charged with:

• Fourth-degree sexual assault
• Risk of injury to a child
• Second-degree breach of peace

Police said he was released after posting 7% of a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear July 1 in Stamford Superior Court.
