Music Teacher Faces Risk of Injury to a Minor Charge in Greenwich

The teacher, who is from Stamford, is accused of making an 'unsuitable request' to a 10-year-old student, according to Greenwich Police.


A music teacher has been arrested on a risk of injury to a minor charge stemming from an incident involving a 10-year-old student in April, according to Greenwich Police.

The teacher surrendered about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, to police who obtained an arrest warrant following their investigation into the April 25 incident in a private school in Greenwich, according to police. Spokesman Lt. Kraig Gray would not identify the school where teacher Sean Jackson is accused of making "an alleged unsuitable request … to the 10-year-old victim while under his instruction."

In a statement, police said, "Jackson was alone with the victim and had been providing musical tutoring to the child in a private school setting." Gray said police will not release any details of the incident.

Police also said in the statement, "Anyone with information regarding an incident with Sean Jackson similar to this incident can contact the Greenwich Police Department, Special Victims Section at 203-622-8030."

Gray said, "Right now, it is a single incident and if anyone is aware of other incidents and want to come forward, they can contact the Special Victims Unit."

Jackson, 41, of 2289 Bedford St., Stamford, was released after posting $500 bond. He was assigned a July 30 date to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford.

According to the biography posted on his website, Jackson is a 2004 graduate of The Juilliard School, where he received both master’s and doctorate degrees. He also is the organist and music director at Stanwich Congregational Church in Greenwich and a music teacher in Fairfield County, according to the biography.
