Kentucky Youth Sports Coach Charged With Sexually Abusing 6 Boys, Slipping Sleeping Pill To 1

A grand jury in Boone County handed up 14 charges against 46-year-old Michael Schweitzer of Hebron.

Police say Schweitzer slipped a sleeping pill to one 13-year-old boy staying with him, then molested the youth while he slept. Five more boys have since contacted authorities with similar allegations.

Schweitzer is charged with three counts of sodomy in the first degree, three counts of unlawful transaction with a minor in the first degree, and eight counts of sexual abuse in the first degree. Prosecutors say the abuse happened from 2011 through 2013.

"I want to assure the parents of the children who've come forward - this case is a top priority for me and my office," Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway said in announcing the indictment.
