Guilty Plea by Former Youth Coach

Christopher Stefanik, a former youth baseball coach in Redmond, pleaded guilty last week to sexually abusing or taking explicit photos of four boys. King County Deputy Prosecutor Scott O'Toole said that he'd never seen families so damaged by the impact of sexual abuse. The guilty plea helped the victims, who at first felt isolated, "feel absolutely vindicated that what they said was the truth." Ex-youth coach admits sex crimes against 4 boys, Seattle Times, March 24, 2006.

(By the way, Mr. O'Toole is also a UW Trial Ad instructor.)
