Last week a federal judge sentenced former Burlington High School wrestling coach Stephen Lemelin, 51, to two years in prison.
In December 2025, a jury convicted Lemelin of three courts of attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor.
According to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office,
Over the course of five months, Lemelin –a Burlington High School wrestling coach at the time – sent sexually explicit messages and obscene material over Kik Messenger to an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old girl. In the messages, Lemelin sent three separate obscene photographs of his genitals to the purported child and proposed meeting in person for sex.
