Former Stonington Leader Used Town Phone for Sexting: Report

A newspaper's review of cell phone records shows Stonington's former first selectman used his town-issued Blackberry to exchange hundreds of sexually explicit texts with several women.

The texts, covering a four-month period in 2012, were reviewed by the Day of New London, which received them under an order from the state's Freedom of Information Commission.

Former First Selectman Ed Haberek, who resigned in December 2014 to take a job at a school in Seattle, Washington, told The Day in an email that he was allowed to use the phone for personal business. He did not immediately respond to a phone call Tuesday from The Associated Press.

The newspaper reported that some of the texts included explicit photos.

Town policy restricts the use of town-issued phones to official Stonington business.
