RUMFORD — A 31-year-old Litchfield resident has been arrested on sex charges following a lengthy investigation by Rumford police, according to Chief Stacy Carter.

In a news release, Carter said Wayne Hull was charged with unlawful sexual touching of a child under 12 years old, dissemination of sexually explicit material and possession of sexually explicit material of a child under 12 years old.
