New allegations of explicit messages sent by former coach, teaching assistant

HAMPTON, Pa. — New allegations of inappropriate messages sent to teenage boys have been raised against a former South Fayette and California University football coach, Channel 11 News has learned.

Patrick Onesko, 27, turned himself in last week on previously filed felony charges of unlawful contact with a minor. Police said he allegedly sent sexually explicit Snapchat messages to two teenage boys he had scouted or coached in South Fayette.

On Wednesday, Channel 11's Cara Sapida reported that two more teenagers have come forward, claiming that they too received inappropriate Snapchat messages from Onesko. Both boys attend Hampton High School, where Onesko was a teaching assistant in 2015.
