NEW YORK (AP) -- An ``American Idol'' reject who volunteered for a Brooklyn school is accused of sending inappropriate text messages to a 12-year-old boy.
Authorities say Colin Leahy was arrested on charges of endangering the welfare of a child after he made sexual references in messages sent to the P.S. 236 student.
Leahy could not be immediately reached for comment. His home phone number is unlisted.
The 23-year-old unsuccessfully tried out for the third season of the hit prime-time television show.
