Former Beloit teacher charged with sexual assault

By BETH WHEELOCK Monday, March 8, 2010

A former soccer coach at Beloit Memorial High School has been charged with sexual assault of a child by school staff.

Beloit police officials say they've investigated the allegations since last fall when they received information 32-year-old Christopher Kindschi had inappropriate contact with one or more students. It was referred to the district attorney's office for the filing of charges late last year.

According to a release from the school district, Kindschi served as both a girls and boys soccer coach from the spring of 1999 through spring 2009 at Beloit Memorial High School. He also taught at the high school from 2004 through 2008.

Kindschi voluntarily resigned from the district last June to accept other employment.

He was arrested on the felony charge Monday and released with a court date.
