Erin Baker, 25, a former assistant girls basketball coach at Port Clinton High School, in Port Clinton, Ohio has been charged in Ottawa County Municipal Court on allegations of having sexual contact with a female student.

Baker who now faces six felony counts of sexual battery was arrested Friday and was released on $50,000 bond on Monday. Prosecutors likely will present evidence against her to a grand jury next week.

Baker reportedly came to the attention of authorities when the girl allegedly told a school counselor of the relationship. The counselor then informed the school resource officer.

Baker who is not a teacher and holds no other position in Port Clinton City Schools has worked as an assistant coach for four years. School officials indicate that coaches are hired on a yearly basis and that basketball coaches have not been considered yet for this school year. The spokesperson said, “We will not hire her for this year, obviously.”

Update 10/30/07:

A grand jury has indicted Erin Baker on 55 charges of having sexual contact with a female student over the course of the past two years.

Baker is now charged with 38 counts of sexual battery and 17 counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and if convicted of all charges faces a maximum of 215 years in prison.

Reportedly documents filed with the court allege that Baker “groomed” the girl over a period of years, having had contact with her from middle school forward, giving her gifts and demanding “something in return” when the relationship allegedly turned sexual.

It is being reported that the girl broke off the relationship and distanced herself from Baker but only after she was filled with fear of Baker and for all intents and purposes was fully under Baker’s control.

09/15/08 - Not Guilty

A Ottawa County Common Pleas Court jury after 4 hours of deliberation has found Erin Baker not guilty on all 34 charges which were referred to the jury. The remaining charges were not referred to the jury as the alleged victim’s timing of events did not match the official charges.

Of the not guilty verdict, the judge reportedly told Baker “You are a very lucky girl.”

The alleged victim, a 17-year-old girl, yelled at Barker, “I hope you burn in hell”.

The assistant prosecutor that represented the state said, “For some reason the jury just disregarded the evidence”.
