MOUNT HOREB, Wis. (WKOW) — Police have arrested a former coach at Mount Horeb High School on a sexual assault charge.
David Chancellor was booked into the Dane County Jail Monday morning. He was booked on charges of stalking and fourth-degree sexual assault.
The Mount Horeb Police Department said the arrest stemmed from "communications and acts committed with a former athlete."
Police said the Mount Horeb Area School District cooperated fully with the investigation. District Superintendent Dr. Steve Salerno shared the following statement with 27 News:
"The safety and well-being of every student are paramount. For many, this may be the first time an adult for whom we have cared is alleged to have engaged in hurtful behavior. A sense of innocence lost and emotional rawness is understandable."
Salerno also provided a list of internal and external resources for students. View those resources and a community update in the letter below:
