Josh Secor

A 20-year-old assistant soccer coach from Wawasee High School is charged with a single felony for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old female student.

Josh Secor, 20, joined the Wawasee coaching staff this fall as a JV coach and varsity assistant coach for boys soccer. On Tuesday afternoon, Secor was arrested on a D felony charge of sexual misconduct with a minor and held on a $2,000 surety bond.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Secor and the 14-year-old girl were observed having oral sex in Secor’s pickup truck on Oct. 14. The pair were also seen on Oct. 16 in a car outside of the girl’s residence in what appeared to be the act of sexual intercourse.

Syracuse Police Officer James Layne interviewed the girl who admitted she and Secor did kiss and take part in “heavy petting.” Secor was also interviewed and admitted he knew the girl was only 14 years old. He said they kissed and he fondled the girl.

Secor is a 2013 graduate of Wawasee High School. He played on the boys soccer team and was the varsity starter as a goalkeeper his senior season.
