Baseball Team Affected by Coach's Arrest
The case against a baseball coach accused of having sex with a teenage girl is affecting more than just the alleged victim.
A baseball team in Lackawanna County is scrambling now to come up with money for a trip after their coach was jailed on child sex charges and a real estate company where the suspect worked is in on the investigation.
Now that Phil Godlewski is in jail on statutory rape charges, Taylor's American Legion baseball team is out thousands of dollars.
Assistant coach A.J. Meranti said the team is now scrambling. The team of 15 to 18 year olds leaves for a tournament in Myrtle Beach this Friday and they've had less than a week to raise the money all over again through a weekend collection.
"His account's on lock now, because it's all under his name, so what we're trying to do is raise our own money," Meranti explained.
Godlewski, 27, was their head coach. He was arrested on Friday, accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenage girl.
Investigators said the two met when the girl was 14. She is now 16 years old.
