BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A Burlington man pleaded not guilty Thursday to felony charges of luring a child.

The Vermont Attorney General’s Office says Robert Charbonneau, 50, used an online messenger app to contact who he thought was a 14-year-old minor for sex, but was actually a Hartford Police investigator.

A judge released Charbonneau on conditions that he doesn’t contact minors and limits access to the internet.
