LOUISVILLE, Ky. —A former St. Raphael Catholic School teacher and Trinity football coach is now facing sex abuse charges.

Philip Dale Anderson, 56, is accused of sexually abusing a student while he worked for the Archdiocese of Louisville.

Anderson, who now lives in Somerset, was arrested Friday afternoon at a restaurant on Brownsboro Road.

Police said the abuse allegedly took place around 30 years ago, when the student was between 11 and 14 years old.

Anderson spent a dozen years at St. Raphael’s parish in the upper Highlands neighborhood between 1981 and 1993 and also coached football at Trinity High School during that time.
