A former coach with a youth football organization in Bucks County allegedly sexually assaulted three juveniles over a period stretching more than a decade, Bensalem police said Wednesday.
Shannon "Shawn" Westmoreland, 47, of West Chester, is charged with alleged sexual assaults that occurred from 1999 to 2015, police said. He was arrested at the Exton Mall where he worked Wednesday and arraigned Wednesday night. His bail is set at $300,000 cash.
Westmoreland allegedly assaulted at least one of the victims while he coached with the Bensalem Rambler's Athletic Association in 2005. An alleged victim was 15 at the time.
Another alleged victim was assaulted over the course of several years, from when the victim was four years old until she was nine or 10 years old, police said.
A third juvenile was allegedly assaulted over the course of 12 years, from when the child was six years old in 1999 until 2011.
Westmoreland is charged with rape, rape of a child under 13, rape of a child, statutory sexual assault and other related offenses.
Police are investigating whether Westmoreland committed other sexual assaults and are urging any other victims to come forward.
