A former youth program director accused of using vulgar and threatening language to middle school students received a six-month suspended prison sentence and has been banned from all New Canaan schools.
The Advocate of Stamford reports that Andrew Barer, 52, of Easton, a former youth director of Outback Teen Center, pleaded guilty to second-degree breach of peace.
Norwalk Superior Court Judge William Wenzel agreed to the plea deal Wednesday and allowed Barer to enter an 18-month accelerated rehabilitation program.
The 52-year-old Barer of Easton was arrested Feb. 27 after a police investigation found he used vulgar language in threats against a group of eight to 10 boys at the school cafeteria if they didn't attend the Outback Teen Center.
Barer initially pleaded not guilty on March 12.
