State Police arrested a deputy warden Tuesday on charges he had sexual contact with an inmate.
Neal Kearney, 48, of Bloomfield, is charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault.
The Bloomfield man was arrested after the 38-year-old inmate said he had a sexual relationship with Kearney.
The alleged encounters took place inside Kearney's office at the Webster Correctional Institute in Cheshire in 2008.
Kearney never used force during the encounters, according to court papers.
Kearney served as a part-time cheerleading coach at the University of Connecticut for 22 years. He resigned in April 2009, according to the school.
