OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – Formal charges were filed against a former Oshkosh West High School soccer coach accused of sexually assault a student.
23-year-old Fredrick Baier is facing three counts: sexual assault of a student by a school staff member, second-degree sexual assault with use of force and causing a child to view sexual activity.
“There was person to person communication and contact between the victims and the defendant. There was also through social media, electronic messages that were sent between the defendant and the victims,” Oshkosh Police Lt. Kevin Konrad told FOX 11 earlier this week.
According to the criminal complaint, Baier allegedly sent a 14-year-old girl an image of his genitals, and asked for photos in return. Baier also admitted to buying alcohol for a teen to use, and having sexually inappropriate conversations with at least 3 girls.
At a party in July, a 16-year-old girl claims Baier touched her, and, despite her objections, proceeded to sexually assault her.
District officials say Baier’s contract was up at the end of the soccer season last week and was not renewed. Also, Baier was not a teacher at Oshkosh West High School.
