Police at Central Connecticut State University have charged a Wilton police officer with sexual assault and other crimes that allegedly occurred on the New Britain campus, authorities said.
Andrew Barone turned himself in to campus police, said Mark McLaughlin, a CCSU spokesman.
Barone, who was hired by the Wilton department in January 2008, is on paid administrative leave while an internal affairs investigation is being done, said Capt. Michael Lombardo.
Barone, a CCSU student from 2004 to 2008, is charged with second-degree sexual assault, three counts of third-degree computer crime, eight counts of breach of peace and one count of sixth-degree larceny, according to court records.
He is free on $150,000 bond and is scheduled to appear March 13 in Superior Court in New Britain.
Barone's ex-girlfriend and her sister, who was 16 at the time of the alleged incident, described to police a night of heavy partying about three years ago at CCSU that ended with all three of them falling asleep in a dorm room.
In an arrest warrant affidavit, the sister said that at some point during the night, Barone left the bed he was sharing with his girlfriend and sexually assaulted her.
The younger woman also told police Barone had previously touched her inappropriately when he was visiting her sister at their home.
Barone told police that his girlfriend's sister had been jealous of their relationship and had told lies about him. He said he had passed a polygraph test to become a police officer, which included questions about sexual deviation.
Barone also is accused of posting nude photos on the Web of a female student while on campus in December 2008, McLaughlin said. The arrest warrant affidavit on those charges has yet to be released.
