A Baton Rouge youth soccer coach was arrested and charged Tuesday (June 26) with sexually assaulting one of his players multiple times beginning when she was 14 years old, police in Bridgeport, Connecticut, told The Connecticut Post. 

Adam Allerton, 42, was arrested as a fugitive in Baton Rouge before surrendering himself in Bridgeport after an 18-year-old told police there Allerton assaulted her while she was on a soccer team he coached at a private school in Waterbury, Connecticut between 2008 and 2013, according to The Advocate.

Allerton moved to Baton Rouge in 2014, soon after which he landed a job as the youth academy director for the Baton Rouge Soccer Club. 

The teen provided investigators with text messages in which she confronted Allerton about the assaults, and she cooperated with police when she was asked be recorded in a phone call to Allerton, The Connecticut Post reported.

“We just got wrapped up in this together,” Allerton is reported to have told the teen.

The FBI is involved in the investigation, The Advocate reported, because the teen said the assaults happened across multiple state lines when the soccer team traveled. 

Allerton has been charged with multiple counts of second- and fourth-degree sexual assault, according to The Connecticut Post.

A star player on the University of Connecticut’s women’s field hockey team has been arrested for allegedly stealing $34 worth of makeup.

Charlotte Veitner, 22, was detained Sunday at the UConn campus bookstore after staff told police she tried to conceal cosmetic items inside a bag, according to the Hartford Courant.  

The police report stated that Veitner, who was the nation’s leading scorer last season with 34 goals including two that took the team to its fifth national championship in November, was seen on bookstore surveillance footage putting the makeup into her shoulder bag. 

She then paid for another item before trying to exit the store, at which point store security guards detained her.

Veitner, who is from Dusseldorf, Germany, was charged with larceny and released on $1,500 bail. 

She is set to appear in court February 14.

According to the Daily Campus, Connecticut law states that shoplifting is sixth-degree larceny if the stolen items stolen add up to less than $250. Veitner is accused of having stolen $34.48 of makeup. 

Veitner, a college senior majoring in engineering, did not immediately return messages Wednesday. Court records do not indicate if she has a lawyer.

A UConn athletics department spokesman says the university is aware of the arrest and has no further comment.
