HUNTINGTON, Ind. (NETWORK INDIANA) — Former Huntington University cross country coach Nicholas Johnson has been sentenced to a year behind bars for sexual battery.
He was convicted after a two-day trial in late September.
Johnson committed sexual battery on a female athlete at least once during a massage, and she testified that they had a consensual relationship after that.
He also pled guilty to identity deception in a 2020 case where he took a teenage girl to Oregon.
Johnson and his wife were both fired from being coaches at Huntington.
