GREECE, N.Y. — New York State Police say an employee of the Greece Central School District and Boy Scouts of America has been arrested for having sexual contact with a teenager.

According to investigators, Sean Glenney, 51, of Greece, met the alleged victim while he was involved with the Explorer Program at the North Greece Fire Department in 2015. Police say the inappropriate contact with the teen happened the same year.

However, police also say there is no evidence that any inappropriate behavior happened while Glenney was working for the district or on school grounds.

State troopers say Glenney is charged with third-degree criminal sex act.

Glenney has been placed on leave, according to officials, and has also been banned by the Boy Scouts of America.

The Boy Scouts issued a statement on Tuesday saying in part:

"The actions alleged to have been committed by Sean Glenney are reprehensible and opposed to everything for which the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) stands for. When we were advised of the allegations, we took steps to preclude him from participation in Scouting. He was added to the BSA’s Volunteer Screening Database thus banning him from any future registration and participation with the BSA.

"The Seneca Waterways Council has and will continue to cooperate with the ongoing investigation by law enforcement.

"Nothing is more important than the safety and protection of the youth in our programs - it is our top priority. The BSA has some of the strongest youth protection policies of any youth-serving organization, which are informed by respected experts in the fields of child safety, law enforcement, and child psychology.

"Consistent with our commitment to protecting Scouts and upholding our values as an organization, the BSA strongly supports efforts to ensure that anyone who commits sexual abuse is held accountable."

State police say Glenney was issued an appearance ticket and is due back in Town of Greece Court at a later date. 

Authorities are asking anyone with more information in this case to call them at 585-398-4100.
