Former Pennridge High School and Pennridge Belles softball coach and former Faith Christian Academy in Sellersville girls basketball coach Eric Romig pleaded guilty Monday, Jan. 27, to charges of having had a sexual relationship last year with one of the members of the softball teams, the Intelligencer reported.

Romig, 36, was arrested in October and charged with crimes including institutional sexual assault, corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a minor.

A 16-year-old player on the two softball teams told investigators she and Romig began to “date” in May or June of 2013, after which Romig picked her up at her Perkasie home and took her to Earl B. Druckenmiller Park in Sellersville and to his home in Richland Township, according to information in the affidavit of probable cause.
