EVERETT, Mass. — The former superintendent of Everett Schools has been accused of inappropriately touching three female Everett Public Schools employees, according to the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office.
Frederick Foresteire, 75, has been charged with five counts of indecent assault on a person over the age of 14, indecent assault and battery on a person over the age of 60 and assault and battery, the DA's office said.

Foresteire retired from Everett Schools in December while on administrative leave amid allegations of sexual harassment.
The school committee launched an investigation into the allegations after two women came forward alleging Foresteire had harassed them. It's unclear if the same women are part of the Middlesex County District Attorney's charges.
Foresteire is set to be arraigned on the charges in April.
