Coach Arrested For Indecent Exposure: Fairfield Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — A girls’ soccer coach at Staples High School in Westport is accused of exposing himself to a female juvenile in Fairfield, according to police. David Sharpe, 29, of Warren Avenue in Fairfield, was arrested on a warrant on Dec. 1 following an investigation that began on Oct. 23 when a female pedestrian reported that a man in his car exposed himself. The incident occurred in the area of Old Post Road and South Benson Road.

The victim gave responding officers an accurate description of the suspect and the vehicle that he was driving, according to Lt. Robert Kalamaras. Follow up investigation by the Detective Bureau identified Sharpe as the suspect, Kalamaras said.

“It was later revealed that David Sharpe was a girls’ soccer coach for Staples High School, from which he resigned after his interview with Detectives,” Kalamaras said.

Sharpe is listed as an assistant coach for the Staples varsity girls’ soccer team on the CIAC website.

Sharpe was arrested on charges of public indecency and breach of peace. He was later released on a promise to appear in court on Dec. 13.

Kalamaras said the case may be related to a similar incident that occurred in Norwalk on Sept. 26 to which a second victim was identified. Norwalk PD and Fairfield PD are coordinating their investigations for the possibility of additional charges, according to Kalamaras.
