MontCo. Coach Arrested For Sexual Assault

LOWER POTTSGROVE, Pa. (CBS 3) ? A Montgomery County volleyball coach has been arrested for inappropriate sexual contact with a minor.  William Gordon III faces several charges, including aggravated indecent assault and endangering the welfare of a child.  Authorities say Gordon, 38, works as a coach and person trainer in Lower Pottsgrove Township.

Between the months of April and November 2008, investigators said Gordon engaged in a sexual relationship with a minor that he coached. The minor was 15-years-old when the alleged sexual acts began.  The inappropriate acts reportedly took plate at Gordon’s home and in a park.  A preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 1, 2008.

Under recent changes to the Statutes of Pennsylvania, the Statute of Limitations (the time within which to file a civil suit for damages on behalf of the injured victim) for minors has been extended to age (30) thirty.
