GREENWICH - A Greenwich man who was released from prison three weeks ago after serving a sentence in connection with a 1996 kidnapping of a young woman was arrested this week on a charge he forced a teen-age girl to have sex, state police said.

Robert G. Hartwell Jr., 27, of 12 Hill St., was sent to Washington County Jail for lack of bail after his arrest on a first-degree sodomy charge.

He was charged after an investigation by state police and Greenwich police into allegations that a 16-year-old girl was given alcohol and forced to have sex with Hartwell on Aug. 10., state police Investigator Hank Abeel said. He didn't know the girl before that night, authorities said.

Officials said he met the girl and two of her teen-age friends as they walked on Main Street, and they accompanied Hartwell and a young man to a rural area in the town of Greenwich to drink alcohol. Hartwell allegedly forced her to have sex in a remote, wooded area later in the evening, authorities said.

Robert G. Hartwell, 40, of Hill Street, Greenwich, was arrested in July 2014 following an investigation that involved both sheriff’s deputies and state police. He is accused of break-ins at abandoned properties in the towns of Saratoga and Stillwater. Charges against him including third-, fourth- and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, third-degree burglary and grand larceny and criminal mischief.

Hartwell also was charged with second-degree strangulation, in what police said was an unrelated domestic incident in the village of Victory involving a former girlfriend.
