Coraopolis Man, West Allegheny Coach Charged with Sexually Assaulting Minor

The coach has been suspended from the nearby district, according to reports.

 

Update: A Coraopolis man and wresting coach for West Allegheny High School has been charged by Allegheny County Police with sexual assault of a minor. 

William James Morosetti, 28, was charged Wednesday with six counts of institutional sexual assault of a minor, according to court records. He faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 29 in Robinson. 

Morosetti is also charged with furnishing alcohol to minors. The charges stem from an April 2012 incident. 

The Post-Gazette reports that Morosetti, who also works as a math teacher at West Allegheny, has been suspended from work in the district. The incident did not involve a current West Allegheny student. 

Morosetti is accused of having sex with a girl more than a dozen times at his residence, beginning when the former student was a sophomore in high school, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Are you KIDDING me, Amy? The girl (if it even was a girl...) was a MINOR. A 28-year-old man doesn't get to have contact with a child, regardless of whose heart was broken. But sure, let's sit here and call this CHILD a liar. Nothing like blaming the victim ... Oh, and FYI, sometimes the charges take a while to file because the police are investigating...

Many times these children are frightened by the alleged perpertrator, told they or their families would be harmed if they tell, or they are embarrased by the crime because our courts literally put the victims on trial. The alleged abusers are innocent until proven guilty, but their victims who should be innocent from start to finish are judged by the public as 'asking for it' or being 'permiscuis.' And people wonder why it takes so long for them to come forward with their allegations.
