Ridgewood Man Indicted On 94 Counts Of Sexual Abuse: Report

A Ridgewood resident and former college softball coach has been indicted on more than 90 counts of sexual abuse by a grand jury.

Kurt Ludwigsen, 44, was indicted last month on seven counts of first-degree coercion, a felony, and 94 counts each of forcible touching and third-degree sexual abuse, The Journal News reported. The forcible touching and sexual abuse charges are misdemeanors, the report stated.

Ludwigsen was arrested April 9 after 13 former female Nyack College players allege he engaged in inappropriate behavior with them from last October until March. They’re accusing Ludwigsen of inappropriately touching their breasts and buttocks and kissing them. He has pleaded not guilty on all counts.

California police investigated allegations stemming from other potential victims from a softball team Ludwigsen formerly coached but statute of limitations had run out on the accusations.
