Married Christian School Coaches Accused of Abusing Player
The former principal of a religious school in Oregon and his teacher wife have been charged with sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl on the basketball team they coached.
Now police say they believe there may be other victims, and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
David Alan Wakefield, 60, and Rachel Jean Wakefield, 54, were co-coaches at Damascus Christian School when the girl was allegedly abused between 2013 and 2017.
They were arrested after a grand jury indicted David on 20 counts of sex abuse and his wife on 11 counts—with the pair later being released on $100,000 bail. Their attorneys said in a statement that the Wakefields “have been valued members of the Clackamas County Community for their entire lives. They deny the charges and look forward to the day when the truth comes out.”
Founded in 1975, Damascus Christian has about 365 students in grades kindergarten through 12th and uses a Bible-based curriculum.
