Brookfield Resident, Former Youth Center Owner Charged with Sexual Contact with a Minor

Local owner of a New Milford sports center arrested on charges of sexual assault and illegal sexual contact.

Brookfield resident David Amory, 48, of Dogwood Lane, turned himself in to New Milford police on Tuesday on an arrest warrant for sexual assault in the fourth degree and risk of injury to a minor.

Several local news outlets — including the News-Times, Republican American and WFSB — have identified Amory as the former owner of Top Flight Sports Center, a gymnastics and youth center in New Milford that closed August 5, according to the facility’s website.

New Milford Lt. William Scribner said police alerted Amory to the outstanding warrant on Tuesday and he turned himself in without incident.
