A former wrestling coach in the Bellwood-Antis School District who is accused of sexually assaulting three children, including two student wrestlers on school property, will now face a jury at the end of August. Ryan Blazier was charged last year, with child rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, aggravated indecent assault, institutional sexual assault and other offenses in connetioni with activity that investigators say took place at the middle school and in an Antis Township home. The trial will include testimony from young victims who will be in another room other than the courtroom so they don’t have to face Blazier, but if the judge approves it, video cameras will be set up there so the jurors can see the young witnesses answer the questions by both the prosecution and the defense. What is likely to be a five day trial, is tentatively set to begin on August 30th.
