STRATFORD, CT — A Stratford school board member charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old was offered a plea deal Friday under which he could spend no time behind bars and the felony charge against him would be dropped.

Board of Education member Robert DeLorenzo is accused of repeatedly assaulting the girl while she was living at his home, the Connecticut Post reported when the charges were brought in April 2018. The assaults are alleged to have occurred in 2016, according to court records.

The deal would see charges of felony risk of injury to a child and misdemeanor sexual assault dropped and replaced by two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment. If DeLorenzo agrees to the deal, which was discussed during an appearance before Judge Kevin Doyle, he would face a two-year suspended prison sentence and three years on probation, but would not be required to register as a sex offender.
