Naugatuck Student Banned From Prom Following Allegation

WTNH reported Wednesday evening a male student is alleged to have inappropriately touched another female student.

According to WTNH, a Naugatuck High School student has been suspended and banned from attending the senior prom this Friday after authorities said he touched another student inappropriately earlier this week.

According to the television station, a female classmate claimed 18-year-old Dashawn Wingate touched her breast during a conversation they were having at school. Wingate, however, told WTNH it was unintentional and he did not mean to harass the girl.

Wingate’s friends are reportedly crafting t-shirts in support of the student, the television station reported.
