Burke Appeal Denied

The Ohio Third District Court of Appeals upholds the conviction of former Napoleon High School teacher and coach, Randy Burke…found guilty last year of illegally touching girls on his track team. He was sentenced to five years of community control and 180 days incarceration at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio. He was also ordered to register as a Tier I sex offender. Burke appealed, saying the state did not offer sufficient evidence to prove that he used force during one incident. Adding, the state did not prove that he touched another victim, inappropriately.
