RAVENA — Coeymans police say a Pop Warner football coach sexually assaulted two children.
Edward Boehlke Jr, was charged with felony predatory sex offenses involving an 8- and 7-year-old child, police said.
He was arrested at his home on Route 9W Tuesday after an investigation, police said.
After an interview with victims, police charged Boehlke with two counts each of predatory sexual assault against a child, criminal sexual acts in the first degree, forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a child.
Boehlke was sent to Albany County jail without bail.
Boehlke, who does not have a history of similar charges, was an assistant coach for the Ravena Pop Warner Football program.
Police said there are no allegations that Boehlke had inappropriate contact with any of the children in the football league. But police are urging parents to speak with their children if they had contact with him.
