“A relationship of trust between a student-athlete, an athlete’s parent and a coach can be fragile,” prosecutor Terry Houck told the court. Morning call.
Abuse of that relationship demonstrates a coach’s blatant disregard for the well-being of those he or she coached, and especially for the law. This defendant defied that trust when she committed this alleged crime against the victim.”
Marth had been a standout athlete and member of the track and field team when she went to Northampton. She was charged Thursday afternoon before being released on $75,000 unsecured bail.
In a statement, Superintendent David Piperato told the outlet that the district was notified of the arrest by the district attorney’s office.
