Blooming Grove

Man charged in sex attack on teen boy

Police say a Blooming Grove man forced a teenage boy to perform a sex act on him and threatened to hurt him and his family if the teen told anyone. Jetson Wilson, 40, is accused of forcing a 15-year-old neighborhood boy to perform oral sex on him in Wilson's Arcadian Trail home in Mountain Lodge Park. The boy told his mother about the incident shortly after it happened on March 27 despite Wilson's threats, said Blooming Grove police Sgt. John Heppes. Wilson was arrested near his home yesterday and charged with first-degree criminal sexual act, formerly called sodomy, and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. He was arraigned in the Town of Blooming Grove Court and sent to the Orange County Jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond.
