Former youth soccer coach convicted of criminal sexual conduct in Lenawee County

A former youth soccer coach has been convicted of multiple criminal sexual conduct charges in Lenawee County, according to the Michigan Attorney General's Office. Andrew Olnhausen, 38, of Texas, was a soccer coach with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, according to prosecutors, and is accused of having an "abusive sexual relationship" that began in 2016 when the victim was 12 years old and continued until the victim was 16. Olnhausen was charged after an investigation by Adrian police and was extradited from Texas to Michigan on the charges in 2022. On Tuesday, a jury convicted Olnhausen of four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes, five counts of child sexually abusive material, one count of using a computer to commit a crime, one count of distributing sexual material to a minor, and one count of the delinquency of a minor. "I am grateful to the jury for their careful consideration of the evidence, the Adrian Police Department for their investigative efforts, and the prosecutors in my office for their commitment to this case," said Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel in a statement. "Above all, I commend the courage of the victim, whose decision to come forward after years of abuse made this outcome possible. My office will continue pursuing justice for sexual assault survivors, no matter how long it takes." Olnhausen will be sentenced on Sept. 5.

FCA debuts new team for all-star game, continues football

TEXOMA (KFDX/KJTL) — For the fifth year, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes is hosting its annual all-star games. This year is a smidge different, it's the first time the organization is featuring a volleyball team. 'It's amazing, it's a big honor,' Megg Lindley said. 'I know pretty much all the girls that I am playing with from tournaments and clubs. It's really cool to play with all the players we've played against.' The program also brings football back for a second year. Marc Bindel debuts as the coach for the Texas team. FCA takes an approach where everyone is welcome, whether its 1A or 6A, they have the best of both six-man and 11 man shining on the field. Kids from Wichita Christian and Chillicothe learning the 11 man game on the fly. 'It's familiar. I played 11 man for the first two years of my high school career,' Sam Machtolff said. 'It's weird. I forget some of the rules don't mix. Like when I see a quarterback scramble, it kind of messes with me.' What sets FCA apart from the other all-star games? 'What I love about the All-Star game is it's one more chance for FCA to talk to the athletes about their relationship with Christ,' Michael Cummings said. 'Everyday at the end of the practices, we have a devotional. We have been excited to be able to just sit and talk to the athletes and prepare them for life and what life looks like after high school.'
