Stroh also worked at youth camps in Redding and Ridgefield, according to a story on WFSB.com.

That evening, he went to Katonah and drank diesel fuel and crashed his car in Bedford in an apparent suicide attempt, the NewsTimes.com said.

Stroh was arrested Monday on felony charges of fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor, the story said.
