BRIDGEPORT — A former Connecticut teacher’s aide accused of having a sexual relationship with two teenage boys has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault charges.
The Connecticut Post reports 46-year-old Kyle Damato-Kushel, of Stratford, entered the pleas Tuesday in Bridgeport to multiple counts of sexual assault and other charges.
Police said Damato-Kushel’s first victim, a 15-year-old boy, told officers she had sex with his 16-year-old friend in August 2014.
Police said the former aide at Wooster Middle School in Stratford had sexual contact with both boys after picking them up and taking them to a Marriott Hotel in Trumbull. Damato-Kushel’s two daughters, now ages 8 and 15, were allegedly present in the room.
A judge continued the case to March 3.
