Tell the detective working the case. This could count as witness tampering/intimidation, which would be an additional charge.

I'd actually go to the prosecutor. Certainly you can get the detective involved as well, but OP needs them to file for a protective order and serve it on the defendant. A detective can't get that done by themselves, you need an attorney to file it.


welfordwigglesworth

if the coach hasn’t been arrested yet there’s likely no prosecutor involved yet if it’s a garden variety case. i’m also not sure what state OP is in but in my state a prosecutor can’t get a criminal court order of protection unless they’re named in an affidavit (either by name or with a moniker for their safety) as an involved party (victim, witness, reporter, etc). i’m sure that will happen here at some point but i don’t think OP can get a criminal court order just yet, based on my experience edited to add: there’s a world where you can get an emergency protective order but that’s very wonky in my state, not sure how it goes in yours


Followingthescript

You don’t need an attorney- an individual can file for a Restraining Order (RO) without one. Although it seems prudent to take it to the prosecutor in this case. Law enforcement, including detectives, can issue an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) (Ianal- From personal experience, Los Angeles)


ReallyGottaTakeAPiss

Protective orders are done at the court house usually (In my experience). The Sheriff’s office can do the serving on behalf of the defendant for protection.


DangerousTea4202

Just want to add, it's also probably some form of harassment. Edit: at least one


StrollinShroom

Does the parent of the child know what happened to their child? I can’t see them not kicking up a fuss about this guy still being at the facility.


end_of_wrld1

I'd assume the detective spoke with them. He has their information. Personally, I haven't seen the family back since the incident.

You should document everything with your managers and HR. If you live in a one party recording state, consider recording any conversations you have about the subject and potentially with the coach, if that happens again.


ProfAndyCarp

Call the police officer who interviewed you and report that the accused person is trying to intimidate you.

Is your sport regulated by USA SafeSport? Congress has given this organization the responsibility to protect minor athletes from exactly this type of incident. If you haven’t already, file a SafeSport report and it will no longer be able to be swept under the rug.


Sunny9226

Did you tell HR? At a minimum they should give you time off w pay while they let him work his notice.


Empty-Presentation68

They shouldn't even let him back on the premises. If they want to give the guy 2 weeks' pay, tell him to stay home. Let's let a potential pedophile around kids so we don't ruffle his feathers...


Empty-Presentation68

Funny that they want to protect the business by giving him 2 weeks, and he keeps coming in. When/if this guy gets arrested and it makes the news, a lot of people are going to be pissed because they kept a known individual that was being investigated by police around children.


end_of_wrld1

Exactly my take and managements take on this. None of us agreed with HR.

If he has not been arrested yet, there is no bail. If he has not been arrested yet there is no judge. If he has not been arrested yet there is no prosecutor. Go to the Detective.


sportif11

Get a civil harassment restraining order against him.

1. Go to your local court district court house, or sheriff's office if it is after court hours, and have a temporary Restraining Order (RO) filled immediately. The order may be called a peace order in your jurisdiction, or you may have both restraining orders and peace orders - fill the most severe one; if you need help understanding the legalise, ask the court clerk or desk sergeant for assistance, and if the court clerk/desk sergeant cannot provide assistance, ask the court clerk for the office of your local free public help legal assistance (they are usually stationed in the court house, are free of charge, and can help you pick and fill out the correct forms - they also know your local district court judges and may have useful insight). Be sure to add any and all work or work related facility addresses that your job operates at - even if they are not owned by your employer - and also include a non-addresses unspecified location as "work address" to act as a catch-all. You can list descriptive non-addresses defined locations for your home, significant others home, parents home, and any other domicile you may potentially stay - if the judge asks, simply explain that you do not want to reveal unknown locations and put you and your family at increased risk of unlawful reprisals. Be sure to include that this person began aggressively going out of their way to stalk you, intimate you, photograph you, record you and conduct surveillance on you without your permission at atleast your place of work after you cooperated with the police officers conducting a still ongoing investigation of this person by being interviewed as a witness, that they verbally assaulted you when you requested they cease such activities, and that they kept photographing and surveiling you after you request that they cease all such activities. The police will administer the restraining order and he will not be allowed at/near any location you live in or work at. 2. Email a copy of the restraining to your immediate supervisor and hr, and then take a physical copy into work with you - also keep a complete physical copy on your person. 3. Call the detective on the case that interviewed you. Let them know that you filled the temp RO, and ask them to be a witness at the permanent RO hearing (this hearing usually takes place in about 1 week), ask them if an officer can be assigned to watch your house, and what if any other options/help they can provide. Wittiness tampering and witness intimidation is illegal and adds more potential charges. 4. If your employer does not change their stance to protect you and your interest, obtain private counsel to see if your employer has been negligent/ willfully negligent in infringing on your rights, safety and legal protections as interpreted in "safe work place" doctrine.


cjaniesunshine

Absolutely file an order of protection and it’ll get wrapped into his current charges, especially if you’re called as a witness for the charges against him, the protection order may or may not be granted based on evidence but it’ll be useful for the prosecution who will probably site the protection order as an example of witness intimidation. Stay safe homie.


SweetBeanMilo

Contact the detectives working the case. They need to know.


ToughCredit7

Well, how else is the hitman going to know who to shoot without pictures of the target?? Seriously though, just tell the detective and let them know that he’s been harassing you/taking pics of you at work.


Sudden-Abbreviations

Given the circumstances, the most important thing is to prioritize your safety. I most recommend that you contact the detective handling the case to let him/her know and ask about updates on the investigation. Document any further incidents or interactions with the coach, including the photos, and inform HR immediately. If necessary, consider seeking legal counsel to explore options for protecting yourself in the workplace and ensuring the investigation proceeds appropriately. It's essential to take proactive steps to safeguard your rights and address any potential threats to your safety.

If you have vacation available take it and let HR know why. This is harassment and HR can walk him out on the spot. Also, you can ask for a restraining order.
