Alleged child rapist denied bail reduction

NORWICH – A Norwich man accused of child rape appeared in Norwich City Court on Thursday, and waived his right to have a felony hearing and was denied a bail reduction.


Jamie Lynn Whitmore Jr., 23, of Norwich was charged with first-degree rape, a class B felony, first-degree criminal sexual act, a class B felony, and endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor.


According to court records, the crime allegedly occurred on November 19, on Borden Avenue, in the City of Norwich with a six-year-old victim.


Whitmore appeared with his attorney, Jonathan Becker, and said he needed a new attorney due to a conflict of interest with the attorneys at the public defender's office.
