A Western Pennsylvania middle school teacher and youth baseball coach is now facing additional charges relating to the sexual assault of children, according to stories from KDKA and WPXI.
Eric Fairman, 26, of Jefferson Hills, is facing 10 new charges, including indecent assault, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor and criminal use of a facility.
The charges were announced after an eighth alleged victim came forward with allegations of sexual assault, the news stations said.
In the criminal complaint, WPXI said, the victim details several incidents of alleged sexual abuse at both the victim’s home and Fairman’s home.
Fairman was a coach of multiple youth sports teams, and worked as a math teacher at McKeesport Middle School. He was the varsity baseball coach at Keystone Oaks in Pittsburgh and a coach and substitute at Thomas Jefferson High School in Jefferson Hills.
