BENSON—State police arrested Loren Wooster, 50, of Benson Wednesday, Dec. 14, for alleged lewd and lascivious conduct with two underage girls and providing alcohol and drugs to a third. Wooster was cited with lewd and lascivious conduct, providing alcohol to a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was scheduled to appear in Rutland Superior Court the same afternoon.
The Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) notified investigators.
In August DCF workers told state police an 11-year-old girl reported being sexually abused by Wooster. A second incident, which involved a 15-year-old girl, was reported by DCF to state police in September. Investigators said Wooster also gave that victim alcohol. A third incident, involving a 17-year-old, occurred in November. Investigators said Wooster provided the girl with alcohol and drugs.
