NEW BRITAIN - Police arrested a New Britain priest Tuesday after an investigation revealed that he may have had sexual contact with a 12-year-old female last May.

Krikoris Keshishian, 53, of 21 Garry Drive, was charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to or impairing the morals of a child by sexual contact.
