Dinner lady accused of abusing boy had inappropriate texts flagged weeks before
A dinner lady charged over grooming and abusing a teenage boy had been cleared by school officials of sending inappropriate messages just weeks before.
Andie Rosafort, 31, met with officials from Connecticut based New Fairfield public schools, where she worked part time.
They discussed "concerns regarding social media and maintaining appropriate boundaries and communication with students" just over six weeks before she allegedly sent nude photos to a student and sexually abused him, court documents show.
In an email sent to Ms Rosafort on December 1 last year, Fairfield Middle School Principal Karen Gruetzner said: “As we discussed, there was a report that insinuated some images were seen and/or shared with high school students from your social media account."
After investigating the accusations, the school "determined that the content was not inappropriate" but Ms Rosafort was warned that "caution should be exercised" when communicating with students.

A report was filed against her after the dad of one of her alleged victim’s friends alerted authorities that the teenager had been sexually abused at a January 13 party.
Ms Rosafort was accused of talking to boys on social media, and contacted the victim over Instagram, a police affidavit states.
The court document says that she had allegedly sent naked photos of herself and requested some back from the victim.
The night of the January party, Ms Rosafort has been accused of allegedly picking the victim up from a party and having “contact of a sexual nature” with the minor.
The suspect had separate social media accounts dedicated to her cosmetic business.
She faces three felony charges - second-degree sexual assault, enticing a minor by a computer to engage in sexual activity and risk of injury to a minor impairing morals of children.
The earlier probe from the school found: “The investigation did not produce any information that substantiated any inappropriate interactions between Ms Rosafort and a minor."
Ms Rosafort turned herself in on February 20, she was released on $100,000 bond.
