More charges filed against former teacher, coach accused of sexually assaulting children

ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. — Another alleged victim has come forward with sexual assault allegations against a former teacher and youth sports coach.

Eric Fairman, 26, is facing 11 additional charges including indecent assault, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor and criminal use of a facility.

There are now eight kids who say Fairman sexually abused them, according to court documents.

Police paperwork states that during an interview, when asked what happened, the latest victim said “he did everything he did to the other kids to me.” In the criminal complaint, the victim details several incidents of alleged sexual abuse at both the victim’s home and Fairman’s home.

Fairman was the coach of multiple youth sports teams, in addition to a job as a math teacher at McKeesport Middle School. He was the varsity baseball coach at Keystone Oaks and a coach and substitute at Thomas Jefferson High School.

He remains in the Allegheny County jail and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for later this month.
