SHAWANO, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) Shawano County deputies have arrested a 23-year-old traveling basketball coach who is accused of sending suggestive text messages to a teenager.
The coach from Oregon began texting the 13-year-old after he had attended the coach’s basketball camp last week. The first texts centered on the boy’s talents, but gradually turned suggestive and, when the boy’s mother saw them, she called the sheriff’s office. Deputies took over the texting conversation and arrested the coach at an arranged meeting place Friday night.
On the same night, a 27-year-old man was arrested after chatting online with what he thought was a 15-year-old girl.
Neither man was named by authorities.
