Bryant Richard is 35 years old. The girl he’s accused of having sex with is 17. While that normally wouldn’t be a crime, it is in this case, because Richard is the wrestling coach at East High School and the girl is a student. Kansas law makes that a low-level felony.
Richard, who is married, is set for a preliminary hearing April 25. He posted a $20,000 bond to be released from jail. If convicted, he would likely get probation with an underlying prison term from four to seven months.
