HARTFORD, Conn. -- A West Hartford man accused in the disappearance of a missing Bloomfield teenager was arraigned Tuesday on 22 new charges filed by the Bloomfield Police Department.

Police are now accusing Adam Gault, 41, who appeared before a judge Tuesday afternoon in a green prison jumpsuit, of not only keeping the 14-year-old girl hidden in his house, but also of having a sexual relationship with her.

Gault Facing Charges Of Sexual Assault

Eleven charges of sexual assault and 11 charges of risk of injury to a minor were filed against Gault Tuesday. Gault already had been charged with eight criminal charges in connection with the disappearance of a missing Bloomfield teen found locked in a storage room in his home, according to police.

Gault's bond, which had already been set at $1 million prior to Tuesday's charges, was raised to $1.5 million at Tuesday's arraignment.

Gault, was also in court Tuesday to plead not guilty to the charges he already faced -- second-degree unlawful restraint, second-degree reckless endangerment, second-degree custodial interference, interfering with a police officer, risk of injury to a minor and three counts of second-degree forgery.

He is due back in court July 10 on those charges.

The girl, who had been missing for a year, was found June 6 when police officers, fearing she was dead, searched Gault's home. An officer pushed aside a dresser blocking a door and found the girl, now 15, locked in the tiny room.

Police arrested Gault and two women who lived with him, Ann Murphy, 40, and Kimberly Cray, 26. The women pleaded not guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to commit unlawful restraint, conspiracy to commit risk of injury to a minor and interfering with police and are due back in court Aug. 1.

Police said the girl ran away from home in June 2006 and moved in with Gault, who worked with her stepfather years ago. Police are now investigating whether he had inappropriate relationships with her and other girls across the country.

Authorities said new charges on Tuesday stem from incidents that occurred before the girl disappeared.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Susan Raff reported that police said they believe that Gault was having a sexual relationship with the teen months before she was found in his home.

The girl wrote in her journal that she was having a sexual relationship with Gault, according to a search warrant application signed by Bloomfield and West Hartford police on June 6. She told a friend Gault was her boyfriend.

Klein has said his client "absolutely denies" that there was a sexual relationship. He said Gault told him that the girl's mother mistakenly concluded from the diaries that her daughter had sex with him.

In June 2006, Gault and the girl filed a police report alleging that she had been sexually abused by a family friend. But police said there was no evidence to support the charges, and they have cleared her family of any suspicion of abuse.

The girl also told Bloomfield police that she did not feel safe in her home and asked to be placed with Gault, the warrant said.

Michael Georgetti, Cray's attorney, has said the three were providing a safe haven for the girl.

Murphy is being held on $750,000 bond and Cray is being held on $500,000 bond.
