A Massachusetts wrestling coach has been charged with indecent assault and battery on a teenager, a troubling incident that arose at his Lakeville-based wrestling club. Fredrick Conrad, 63, was arraigned on Friday, accused of assaulting a minor at Brickroad Wrestling Club, according to police.
Conrad, who hails from Bridgewater, faces three counts related to an incident from October. The Lakeville Police Department detailed the case, asserting that the victim was a minor, though specific details of the offense were not disclosed. This information was gathered from an NBC Boston report. Conrad, also recognized as the president of Brickroad Wrestling Club, now must comply with court-ordered restrictions, including personal recognition, a stay-away order from the victim, and no allowance for contact.
At the time of the arraignment, which took place at Wareham District Court, Conrad was released and is expected back in court on February 22nd, as per the legal proceeding's schedule. The officers continue to delve deeper into the matter, examining the various facets of the allegations. Chief Matthew Perkins of the Lakeville Police Department implored the community for aid, urging anyone with additional insights to step forward and contact local authorities at 508-947-4422, details that were obtained by a WCVB report.
Brickroad Wrestling Club, where Conrad's alleged crimes took place, is described as a nonprofit organization. Its mission serves a wide age range, starting from youth as young as 5 up to adults. Given the gravity of the situation, the community of Lakeville, with its small-town composure, has been rattled as it faces the reality of these disturbing allegations against a man once entrusted with the tutelage and care of its young athletes.
