TACOMA, Wash. — A University of Puget Sound soccer coach who offers private goalkeeping sessions through his summer camp is accused of inappropriately touching a 16-year-old player.

The News Tribune reports 52-year-old Kelly Bendixen was charged Monday with first degree sexual misconduct with a minor and is ordered to have no contact with minors.

Pierce County prosecutors contend he kissed and groped a girl several times while driving her to and from soccer practices earlier this month.
