Concord Coach, School Assistant Gets Sentenced to Prison

CONCORD, NH - A former teacher and football coach was sentenced on April 13, 2016, in Merrimack County Superior Court to prison for sexually assaulting a teenage boy, manufacturing child pornography, and other charges, according to NH1.com.

Donald Levesque, who worked at the Shaker Road School in Concord until 2014, and coached with Concord Capitals football program, received a 20 to 40 year sentence and will also be deemed a sex offender when he gets out of prison.

Levesque was arrested on multiple counts in September 2015, after a multi-month investigation into allegations that he had began having sexual encounters with a then-13-year-old boy in January 2013 and had repeated encounters through June 2014, according to the investigation by Merrimack County Sheriffs. The encounters took place on South Street, NHTI, and off I-93, according to the report. Child pornography charges were later filed against Levesque after police learned that he was using Snapchat to communicate with the boy and to receive sexual pictures from him.

Shaker Road School told Concord NH Patch last year that none of the allegations against Levesque involved the school, he was removed from the school in 2014, and the org was cooperating with the investigation.
