A Northern Kentucky football coach has been arrested and charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covington Police arrested Thomas Hansman, 27, a volunteer football coach at Holy Cross School on Wednesday. Hansman was charged with first-degree sexual abuse and using electronic communications to induce a minor to engage in sexual activity, both felonies.

Hansman volunteered with the middle school football team at Holy Cross School, said Tim Fitzgerald, Covington Diocese spokesman.

The charges involved a minor girl, Fitzgerald said. After the allegations arose, Hansman was immediately removed from his position, he said.
