Minnesota track coach faces fourth sexual assault charge

The victim said she was on the track team. She had met Birth as a coach, although she said he wasn’t specifically her coach.

It also says in her complaint that she said she was called into the principal’s office during her senior year. She was asked about Birth due to reports he had done something with other girls. The victim said she lied during questioning because she was scared.
