Former coach faces sexual abuse charges

BUCKFIELD – A former boys basketball coach and education technician at Buckfield Junior-Senior High School has been indicted for allegedly having sex with two boys on her team.

An Oxford County grand jury returned indictments against Lori Bradley for two counts of sexual abuse of a minor.

None of the alleged incidents three years ago occurred at the school, said Capt. James Miclon, an investigator from the Oxford County Sheriff’s Department. The boys were 15 years old at the time.

The separate incidents allegedly occurred at a residence in Buckfield in September and December 1998. Both boys were players on Bradley’s high school junior varsity team at the time.

Bradley, 32, who denied the charges, was fired March 23. She could face up to five years in prison if convicted.
