A Watertown High School teacher who is accused of inappropriately touching two high school students is due in court today.
Sixty-one-year-old Stanley Mikrut, of Southbury, is accused of touching the students between November 2015 and June 2016 during school and was charged with two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and two counts of disorderly conduct.
Investigators said the teens, who are under the age of 18, reported it to the school earlier this month and the district immediately reported it to police and the state Department of Children and Families.
Watertown Public Schools said in a statement that Mikrut was put on administrative leave immediately.
Mikrut has been a teacher in Watertown for 15 years.
His case has been continued to Dec. 1.
