Torrington Public Schools Employee Charged With Harassment

The director of Secondary Education for the Torrington Public Schools has been arrested, accused of harassing another board of education employee.

Eric Baim, 41 of Southington, was arrested on Thursday and charged with second-degree breach of peace after a month-long investigation into the harassment complaint.

Police said an employee of the Torrington Board of Education assigned to the Torrington High School filed the complaint on April 27.

"The Torrington Public Schools administration recently learned of the arrest of Eric Baim. Mr. Baim has been on administrative leave since April 25, 2016. As this in an ongoing personnel matter, we will not and cannot comment on the circumstances surrounding Mr. Baim’s arrest at this time. We have and will continue to cooperate fully with the police on this matter," said the school's released statement.

Baim was released on a $2,500 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Bantam Superior court on June 6.
