David Paul Amory’s jury trial on sexual assault charges begins May 12 with jury selection in Superior Court in Litchfield
UPDATE: MAY 4: 12:50 p.m. Amory is charged with two counts each of fourth-degree sexual assault and illegal sexual contact.
While one of the January 2011 alleged incidents did not result in charges a second incident at that time did, according to court documents.
During the course of the joint police, DCF and state Department of Health investigations, authorities also interviewed two other young girls and their parents, who said Amory had also rubbed the girl’s bare skin near their buttocks and genitals while holding them on his lap. But the court documents indicate only one of the complaints led to criminal charges.

NEW MILFORD — After several changes on the court calendar, the sexual assault trial of former Top Flight Sports Center owner David Amory is scheduled to begin jury selection on May 12 in Superior Court in Litchfield.
Amory, 50, entered a not guilty plea at the time of his arrest in October 2012 on charges of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl. He is facing substitute charges of two counts fourth-degree sexual assault of a victim older than 2 years but younger than 13 years old for which he has not entered a plea and two counts of illegal sexual contact for which he has plead not guilty. The charges stem from alleged incidents in January 2011 and June 2012 at the sports center in New Milford. Another alleged assault in January 2011 did not lead to criminal charges, according to court documents.
The charges are Class D Felonies carrying prison terms of one to five years and a $5,000 fine, with the illegal sexual contact charge carrying a required 5 year sentence that cannot be suspended or reduced by the court, according to state statutes.
Amory is free on $15,000 bond.
