Rye police arrested an employee of the city-owned Rye Golf Club on Tuesday for allegedly forcibly touching a fellow staff member in a sexual manner, an investigation revealed.
Nicholas Aufiero, of Rye Brook, was the subject of a police investigation that found the 72-year-old inappropriately touched a co-worker while working at the Boston Post Road golf club on Saturday, June 29.
The 126-acre facility is a member-only club, which is owned by the city of Rye.
Aufiero was arrested on July 2 and charged with Forcible Touching, a misdemeanor. He was later arraigned in Rye City Court.
Under state penal law, forcible touching takes place without a person’s consent and includes squeezing, grabbing, pinching, rubbing, or other bodily contact involving some level of pressure to the victim’s sexual or intimate parts.
Aufiero was released on $500 cash bail and is scheduled to appear back in court on July 16.
