WCAX Reporter Accused of Groping Female Student Pleads Not Guilty

By Merrill Knox 

WCAX reporter Matt Henson pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of lewd and lascivious conduct and committing a prohibited act stemming from a March arrest, according to the Burlington Free Press.

Henson, who is currently suspended from the Burlington CBS affiliate, is accused of groping a female college student in a bar without her consent on two occasions on March 15.

Henson was released on condition that he not contact the student and he not visit the Packing House Bar, the site of the original incident, according to the Burlington Free Press.
