Fredericksburg resident Tyler Trotter, 25, formerly a coach at Brooke Pointe High School, is facing charges following an investigation by the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office into alleged “indecent liberties with a child.”

A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said that earlier this month, a minor reported that she was on a Stafford County school bus traveling to an away game when an assistant basketball coach sat next her.

It is alleged by the victim that Trotter engaged her in a sexually explicit conversation and touched her inappropriately, according to officials.

An arrest warrant was issued for Trotter, who was charged with indecent liberties with a child by a custodian, the sheriff’s office announced on Wednesday, March 29. He was arrested on the warrant and held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Officials noted that Trotter is no longer a coach with Stafford County Schools.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Anyone with additional information has been asked to contact Det. Hinson at the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office by calling (540) 658-4400.
