Former Ridgewood Softball Coach Admits To Licking Girls' Ears, Report Says

RIDGEWOOD, NJ – The former Ridgewood softball coach accused of sexually abusing softball players at a local Christian college pleaded guilty earlier this month to forcibly touching seven of them.

Kurt Ludwigsen was charged with nearly 200 counts of sexual abuse and forcible touching last year after players from Nyack College reported his actions to authorities. He admitted to seven misdemeanor charges of forcible touching, the New York Daily News reported.

Ludwigsen, 44, regularly licked his players’ ears, kissed their lips and faces, slapped their buttocks, and grabbed their breasts, the report stated.

Ludwigsen also invited porn star Allie Haze to practices and told his players to get “life counseling sessions with her,” the report stated.

Ludwigsen will not have to register as a sex offender and is expected to get three years probation and ordered to perform community service, according to the report. He is scheduled to be sentenced in March.

Ludwigsen’s trial was slated to start last year or early this year. The married father of two children was arrested last April and moved back to California since then.

The seven players are suing Ludwigsen and Nyack for his conduct, the report stated.
