Kurt Ludwigsen, the former softball coach at Nyack College, a Christian institution in Rockland County, New York, stands accused of fondling players and offering assistance in getting them employment in the adult film industry.
He also allegedly invited an “adult film actress to deliver ‘life-counseling sessions’ for the team.”
The lawsuit by a trio of former players also implicates the college for negligence.
Three of his former players […] allege that now-fired coach Kurt Ludwigsen, 44, would fondle their breasts and order them to sit on his lap, the [New York] Post reported.
In one particularly disturbing claim cited by the tabloid, one pitcher said Ludwigsen told her after a loss, “I am going to ear f–k you. This is your punishment. You are going to stand here and take it.”
“Ludwigsen then began to lick [her] ear,” the suit stated, according to the Post.
Todd Krouner, the attorney for the players, told The Huffington Post that the case “has strong merit to it.”
According to the Journal News, the three sexual harassment complaints also name Nyack College and administrators for failing to conduct sufficient background checks on the coach and for sexual discrimination and negligence. Ludwigsen had been investigated, though not arrested, for alleged sexual harassment of teen girls he had coached in California. The Press-Democrat in Santa Rosa said the complaints surfaced in June 2013 for allegations dating to 2010 and before in Petaluma, California.
Ludwigsen was axed as coach back in March due to player complaints. He was arrested the following month and “faces multiple counts of sex abuse-related charges involving 13 of his players between September 2014 and March 2015.”
