A Fairfield Warde High School teacher has been charged with risk of injury and public indecency after he was accused of exposing himself to a female student in school, according to Fairfield police.
Jeff Iwanicki, 44, of Milford, turned himself in to Fairfield police on Monday.
Police began investigating him after a female Fairfield Warde student reported two incidents of inappropriate behavior. Police said both alleged incidents happened "within the school facility, during school hours," but there was no physical contact.
After the second, the student told her parents who contacted the school, which contacted police.
"We take very seriously that special bond and trust between a student and a teacher and we investigate rigorously any allegations," Deputy Chief Chris Lyddy said.
Iwanicki is charged with risk of injury/impairing the morals of a minor, public indecency and breach of peace. He was released on a $50,000 bond.
Iwanicki is listed as a tech teacher at Fairfield Warde High School.

Iwanicki posted bond and scheduled to appear in court in Bridgeport on Jan. 27.
