Kelsey Albert Dana McKay, a high school football coach has been charged with sexually assaulting five students between 2004 and 2011.
McKay was arrested yesterday and is now charged with five counts of sexual assault, four counts of sexual exploitation, four counts of luring and one count of sexual interference.
The Winnipeg Police Service announced the charges Wednesday, stating five now-adult victims who played high school football contacted the Sex Crimes Unit earlier this month.
Police said most of the incidents took place at the accused’s home.
The adults reported they had been sexually assaulted by the same man, who police said had initially taught physical education and coached football at Churchill High School, and then at Vincent Massey Collegiate.
Police allege the man ‘forged relationships’ with the students and communicated regularly with them. Police said the majority of the offences happened at the man’s house.
