A second person is alleging that former Barrington Christian Academy coach and teacher Sean Cassidy acted inappropriately with her when she was a student there.

The remarks surfaced two days after Rhode Island State Police arrested Cassidy and charged him with contributing to the delinquency of a child, and procurement of alcoholic beverages for underage persons. The charges stem from an incident involving a student under the age of 16.

Barrington Police said a 19-year-old woman who is a former BCA student stopped into the station on Wednesday, June 3 and made similar allegations against Cassidy. The woman told police Cassidy gave her inappropriate gifts. 

Little League connection

A former official with Barrington Little League confirmed that Cassidy served as a softball coach with the league from 2022 to 2024. Cassidy coached a Senior Division team.

Mike Raia, a current board member and spokesperson for Barrington Little League, confirmed that Cassidy had been coaching a Senior Division softball team this season also.

“Our players’ safety is our top priority,” Raia said in a statement shared with the Barrington Times. "After learning of the allegations against Sean Cassidy, the Barrington Little League board of directors took immediate action to remove him as a manager and restrict him from involvement in any current or future league activities.”
