Knox, IN

A basketball coach in Indiana has been arrested on charges of sexual misconduct with a child after an illicit affair with a student led to plenty of proof of the relationship after the girl with whom he had slept gave birth to a child.

According to South Bend NBC affiliate WNDU and WKVJ, former Knox (Ind.) High basketball coach and teacher Todd Boldry carried on a sexual relationship with a then-Knox High student beginning in 2007. The news sources claimed that the relationship took place on school grounds, with the 39-year-old allegedly sleeping with the girl, who was 17 at the time, between 2007 and 2009.

Boldry and the teen allegedly used the school's training room for sexual encounters between 2007 and 2009, eventually ending the encounters when the unnamed teenager became pregnant. Court affidavits show that she gave birth to a son in 2010, with subsequent DNA tests confirming that Boldry is the father of the child.

Warsaw, IN

New details emerged Wednesday in the case of a Warsaw middle school teacher charged with a felony for his alleged sexual relationship with a student.  Police say that relationship with a 14-year-old girl started at the end of last school year and continued throughout the summer. 

Warsaw Schools Superintendent Dr. Craig Hintz said 26-year-old Tyler Baatz taught the girl 8^th grade English at Edgewood Middle School, which is how they met.  Then, according to police, the two began exchanging text messages with each other with “statements of love and sexual connotations” last spring.

According to court documents, that relationship quickly became physical when Baatz and the girl started “hugging and kissing on several occasions” in his classroom during summer school.
