By TOM KERTSCHER tkertscher@journalsentinel.com Posted: Jan. 4, 2005 Racine - A 22-year-old woman who coached a private volleyball club and briefly coached at a Racine County high school has been charged with having sex with one of her 16-year-old players.
Jennifer L. Bradley of the 6000 block of Leeward Lane in Caledonia was charged with one felony - sexual assault of a student by an instructional staff member, which carries a prison term of up to six years - and five misdemeanors. She made her initial appearance Tuesday in Racine County Circuit Court.
According to a criminal complaint:
Bradley and the boy had a sexual relationship between June 12 and Sept. 4 while she coached a private club that he played for called Next Level Volleyball.
On Aug. 16, Bradley was hired as an assistant girls volleyball coach at Case High School, where the boy attends school and plays volleyball.
Bradley was suspended Sept. 23, after the allegations surfaced, and she has since resigned from her school position, Linda Flashinski, spokeswoman for the Racine Unified School District, said in an interview. She was not a teacher at the school, Flashinski said.
The complaint says the boy's mother told a Racine County sheriff's investigator that Bradley let him use her cell phone, let him drive her car though he was not licensed and let him use her credit card so that he could play poker and make bets on a Web site.
The mother said her son's grades dropped from A's and B's to D's and F's and that he has run away from home at least three times since being confronted about the relationship, the complaint says.
The mother had suspected that her son was having an affair with Bradley after she found a computer message. She thenbegan taping telephone conversations between Bradley and her son, the complaint says.
The boy told a sheriff's investigator that he had had sex with Bradley about five or 10 times.
Any advice on the refs?
