Assistant coach charged with rape of woman

Adam Leiter, 27, an assistant wrestling coach at Coon Rapids High School has been charged with 3rd degree CSC for allagadly raping a victim he met at a sports bar in Minnesota. He was hired 5 years ago, and passed a background check.

[Anoka-Hennepin School district spokeswoman Mary Olson] said that Kelley Scott, the assistant principal supervising athletics, said Leiter did a fine job as an assistant coach.

Leiter has been suspended pending the outcome of the case. Olson said the district notified high school parents about Leiter's suspension through its automated phone system.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim and two girlfriends met Leiter and two men at Be-Bops Sports Bar in Blaine on Friday night. The three men returned with the three women to one woman's home in Coon Rapids, where they continued to party. The victim went to sleep about 4 a.m. in a spare bedroom. She said she was awakened by an unknown man having sex with her. She asked who he was and he replied, "This is me, Cauliflower."

"Cauliflower" is a reference to a damaged ear after wrestling, and Leiter allegedly told the victim that he worked as a coach. He was later picked out of a lineup by the victim. He was released after posting $10,000 bail.

Just so you all know, Adam Leiter was found innocent of all charges in front of a 13 person jury. He was wrongfully charged and there wa no proof that he had done nothing wrong. Its sad that it makes the news he was charged but doesnt make the news when he is found NOT GUILTY...

Yes there was proof, there were 3 woman that knew he did this and there was DNA...Shame on the american people for not knowing enough about rape. He slept with another person before raping another sleeping intoxicated woman. She didn't have bruises and didn't have cuts and wasn't murdered so that why he wasn't found guilty. Have him take a lie detector test..Bet he fails..Don't forget the judge rushed trial because someone on the jury had to get on a plane on Tuesday and don't forget that when they came with the verdict...a few of them covered there faces so they didn't have to look at the victom because they knew and they knew it was wrong. Shame to the public and everyone for not being educated that a person doesn't go through the rape kit, telling family, reporting it and a trial to lie. No person would do that.

I want everyone to know that there were 3 woman who know he did this. Shame on the people. The judge rushed this due to a juror needing to be on a plane on Tuesday.. There was DNA. Oh did he forget to tell you he had sex with another woman??? Have him take a lie detector test bet he fails..The woman would gladly take the test and not fail..Oh don't forget that the jurors a few of them covered there faces when verdict was read as they didn't want to see the victom as they knew they were wrong. Shame on them shame on the people for not being educated on rape..She didn't have bruises and wasn't murdered that is why he was found not guilty. She was sleeping and intoxicated..
