Retired Pa. teacher, Boy Scout troop leader arrested for unlawful sexual contact with a student

A Delaware County man has been arrested and charged for sexually abusing a child while he worked as a Boy Scout troop leader and as a teacher at a boarding school, officials said.

The foster parent told authorities that the child said he had been touched in his"private parts" while he was staying with Steininger as he was acting as his teacher and Boy Scout troop leader."The defendant in this case worked with children, many of whom were particularly vulnerable by virtue of coming to Girard through the foster care system, for more than 41 years. He was placed in a position of particular respect by becoming a Boy Scout troop leader.

On April 11, Steininger admitted to the sexual contact and gave the victim an apology during a phone call.
