A college softball coach in Rockland County has been accused of sexually harassing his players, with his victims alleging he touched them inappropriately, spoke to them suggestively, and even had a porn star give them "life counseling sessions" during practice.
Kurt Ludwigsen, a coach at Nyack College (the self-proclaimed "New York's Christian College") has been accused of "routinely licking his players' ears, kissing their lips and faces, slapping their buttocks, grabbing their breasts, directing them to sit on his lap, lying on top of them," according to suits filed in White Plains Federal Court and in Manhattan. One female pitcher alleges Ludwigsen told her, "I am going to ear f-k you. This is your punishment. You are going to stand here and take it," before licking her ear; another says Ludwigsen told her he had "resources and connections to assist her" if she wanted to become a stripper.
Perhaps most strangely, Ludwigsen reportedly invited porn star Allie Haze to one of his practices, where she dispensed life advice and later held a question-and-answer session at his home. He also, using an alias, founded a paid telephone service that connected to another porn star, Bree Olson, according to court documents.
Ludwigsen was fired last spring and criminally charged in May. He's been hit with nearly 200 charges of sexual abuse and forcible touching, though he has pled not guilty to all of them.
