Raymond LeBlanc of Berlin, Vermont, a sergeant with the Vermont State Police, was arraigned today in Washington County Criminal Court on one count of misdemeanor stalking. LeBlanc, represented by attorney Oreste V. Valsangiacomo, Jr., entered a plea of not guilty.
As a result of the charges, LeBlanc faces a potential maximum period of incarceration of up to two years, or a maximum fine of up to $5,000, or both.
The charge involves an allegation of stalking by LeBlanc concerning his course of conduct directed at his estranged wife during the timeframe of May of 2018 through December of 2018. According to WCAX, LeBlanc is alleged to have ‘tracked her location, accessed her phone and verbally abused her via texts and phone calls. According to court documents, infidelity and money problems strained their marriage. Documents also show that LeBlanc used tracking information to show up at his estranged wife’s location when she was meeting other men.’
The matter was investigated by detectives of the Vermont State Police.
The Attorney General’s Office reminds the public that a criminal charge contained in a charging document filed with the Court is merely a formal accusation of conduct, and not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
