Rafael Pena, a former program specialist for Yonkers Public Schools, was arrested on Wednesday, March 8 for an alleged incident of inappropriate conduct that happened on Tuesday, Feb. 28, according to Yonkers Police.

On the day of the incident, around 11 a.m., Pena allegedly exposed his private parts in a "lewd manner" to a 58-year-old woman in a rented private office in the Yonkers Police Athletic Center at 127 North Broadway, police said.

No one else was present in the office, and the incident was not visible outside the office, authorities added.

Pena is now charged with one count of public lewdness. The case is now being prosecuted by the Westchester County District Attorney's Office.
