Police: New London Man Charged in Mansfield Sexual Assault

A 21-year-old New London man was arrested on a slew of charges late Monday after police said he sexually assaulted and injured a woman in Mansfield.

Miguel Troche-Cabrera, of Hawthorne Drive, New London, is facing charges of first-degree sexual assault, first-degree strangulation, first-degree assault, first-degree unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment in the first degree, second-degree breach of peace and sixth-degree larceny, according to a police report.

Police received a 9-1-1 call Monday at around 11:45 p.m. from an Eagle Court resident who reported a woman was outside his residence suffering from “multiple injuries,” according to a police report.

Upon arrival, troopers determined that the woman had been sexually assaulted while walking in her neighborhood, and that the male subject, later identified as Troche-Cabrera, had fled on a bicycle, according to a police report.

The woman was treated by EMS on scene, and transported to Windham Hospital, where she was then transferred to Hartford Hospital for further evaluation.

Troche-Cabrera, was later apprehended when police spotted him riding his bike on Route 275, according to a police report.

Troche-Cabrera is being held on $200,000 cash bond, according to an arrest report. He was arraigned in court on April 16.

Sgt. Richard Cournoyer of the Mansfield Resident State Trooper’s Office said Thursday that he is confident that this is an isolated incident.
