Man charged with ongoing molestation

A 29-year-old Ludlow man will face charges he sexually abused six preteen children for a year or more.
Jonathan Warren was ordered held on $250,000 cash bail Monday after pleading not guilty to the charges in Vermont District Court. Police say Warren forced the children to have sex with him -- and sometimes each other -- at knifepoint. He was arrested after being caught with a partially undressed 11-year-old girl. Police said Warren was a longtime friend of the children's parents, and sometimes baby-sat for them.
