A Seymour man accused of luring, kidnapping and sexually abusing a girl into his pickup truck in Waterbury in October is accused of luring another child into his vehicle in Waterbury and sexually abusing her in September, according to police .

Police said investigators with the Waterbury Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division received a report on Oct. 15 about the sexual assault of a girl on Sept. 28.

The victim said she was on her way home when 45-year-old Michael Dewitt of Seymour lured her into a vehicle and sexually assaulted her, police said.

Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Dewitt on Oct. 25 on charges of first-degree sexual assault, fourth-degree sexual assault and commercial sexual abuse of a minor.

Dewitt is in the custody of the state Department of Corrections on a $550,000 bond and is scheduled to be served with an arrest warrant at his scheduled court date today, police said.

This warrant carries a court-ordered bond of $750,000.

Police ask anyone with further information about this incident or any other incident involving Dewitt to call the Waterbury Police Detective Bureau at (203) 574-6941 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (203) 755-1234.

New Haven police said last month that Dewitt is suspected of the sexual assault in New Haven a decade ago when the victim was a minor.
