    Connecticut Post: Former fencing coach charged with sexual assault (Apr 13 2013)

    According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Margaret Mary Fitzgerald, the assistant superintendent of schools, contacted the state Department of Children and Families on Feb. 27, 2012, to report the parents of a 17-year-old female student at Fairfield Ludlowe told her that their daughter was having a sexual relationship with her high school fencing coach, [John] Tejada. The girl's parents said they discovered the relationship after seeing numerous text messages on their daughter's cellphone from Tejada that were of a sexual nature, according to the warrant. The texts graphically detailed sex that Tejada had with the girl, the warrant states. Though Tejada was immediately placed on administrative leave from the school coaching job, the girl refused to give police a statement and criminal investigation ended at that time.

    Last Jan. 23, the affidavit states that police got a call from a lawyer representing the girl's family who said the girl, now 18 and a university student, changed her mind and was willing to give a statement. In that statement, the teen said that Tejada was friendly with female students and often hugged them. The girl said she had been working at a birthday party at the fencing school when he pushed her up against a wall and kissed her. Later, following a fencing match at Fairfield Warde, Tejada asked the girl to come with him to the school's weight room, according to the warrant. In the room, the teen said Tejada pushed her down on a piece of exercise equipment and had sex with her, the warrant states. On another occasion, the girl said she had sexual contact with Tejada in the trainer's room at Fairfield Warde. And during a movie night at the fencing school, he again had sex with her, the affidavit states. Each of the incidents is corroborated by texts Tejada sent the girl in which he recounted what had occurred in great detail, the affidavit says.
