SEYMOUR - Police arrested a 37-year-old woman Tuesday after she allegedly fondled a teen and made advances to others at a local skate park.

Just after 4 p.m. on Tuesday officers responded to the community center on Pine Street on a report of a woman trying to lure kids into her vehicle, according to a press release.

Officers found 37-year-old Jennifer Johnson, of Ansonia, sitting in a vehicle near the skate park on the community center grounds. Inside the vehicle was a juvenile female who appeared nervous and was removed from the vehicle by officers.

Detectives later learned that Johnson arrived at the skate park to have sex with a 16-year-old teenager. When the teen could not be located Johnson began making inappropriate comments and sexual innuendos to several teens in the area, according to police.

Police said Johnson fondled one of the teenagers in an aggressive and sexual manner on “sensitive areas” of the teenagers’ body.

Johnson was taken into custody without incident. She was charged with a host of charges including five counts of risk of injury to a minor, sexual assault in the fourth degree and breach of peace in the second degree.

Unable to post bond, Johnson was held on $100,000 bond until her arraignment Wednesday morning.

According to the State’s Judical database, Johnson is being held until her next court date on Oct. 22nd.

On Monday a Bridgeport teen was lured into a car by a suspect police described as a female in her 40’s. Seymour police said they don’t believe the two cases are connected, noting the car in the Bridgeport case was grey and Johnson’s car was white.

Police say no teens were harmed.
