BELFAST — A Lincolnville man has been arrested and charged with unlawful sexual touching and other crimes following an incident in a Belfast store Saturday.

Glenn L. Reed, 65, is accused March 9 of entering a Belfast business, where a young woman was working at the register, and assaulting her. According to Belfast Police Chief Mike McFadden, the victim told police Reed came in, told her he was having a bad day, and that he "just needed a hug."

The victim came out from behind the counter and gave Reed a hug, but the victim said he tried to also kiss her on the cheek or neck area, and then fondled her buttocks.

"He then said some sexually charged comments to her," said McFadden. "He described certain parts of his anatomy, and what he wanted to do with them to her, and she pulled away from him immediately and asked what he needed in the store."

As the victim then went to assist Reed, he approached her again, grabbed her and groped her breasts, while trying to kiss her on the lips, said McFadden.

"Fortunately for us and the victim, video surveillance cameras were running inside the store and they captured quite efficiently all the contact he had with the clerk," said McFadden.

After the victim notified police about the incident and Belfast Police Sgt. John Gibbs investigated, a warrant was issued for Reed's arrest.

Reed was picked up by Lincolnville Police Monday. He was charged with unlawful sexual touching, assault and disorderly conduct. McFadden said Reed posted bail and has been released from jail.

"Often times, an investigation of this kind can yield additional charges, but I can't comment on specifics of that in this case right now," said McFadden Tuesday morning.

Reed is listed as a lifetime registrant on the Maine Sex Offender Registry. He was previously convicted of rape in Belfast Superior Court and is required to verify his physical address with authorities every 90 days.

Reed was also recently convicted of filing a false public report or alarm, stemming from an incident in October 2012 in Belfast, when McFadden said Reed filed a report that medications had been stolen out of his vehicle.

Reed told police he thought he knew who took the drugs. McFadden said Reed told them he agreed to loan the suspect $100, and was to meet her in a grocery store parking lot when the theft occurred.

"He claimed he was going to loan her money and that was why they were meeting. He went into the [store], according to him, and he suspected she got into his car and took Oxycodone out of it," said McFadden. "What ended up happening was we talked to the alleged suspect and she said she arranged to meet him there to purchase the drugs."

Reed was charged for filing the false report, pleaded no contest and was fined $500.

McFadden said the woman was charged with stealing drugs, but the state decline the charges against her.
