HYDE PARK, N.Y. — A 68-year-old Hyde Park man has been charged with multiple misdemeanors following a month-long investigation into alleged inappropriate contact with students at Arlington High School, the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.
Robert J. Siniscalchi, a school employee, was arrested on Monday and charged with three counts of forcible touching and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Authorities say the charges stem from incidents involving three Arlington High School students during the 2024-2025 school year.
To protect the privacy of the victims, no identifying details or further case information have been released, officials said.
Siniscalchi was processed and released on appearance tickets. He is scheduled to appear in Town of LaGrange Court on June 17.
Authorities confirmed the investigation was conducted in cooperation with the Arlington Central School District. No further comment has been made by school officials.
The charges against Siniscalchi follow a series of school-related investigations in the region involving student safety concerns.
