Former Princeton Senior High School wrestling coach has been indicted on seven charges

Mercer County, WV (WOAY) – A former Princeton Senior High School wrestling coach has been indicted by a Mercer County grand jury on seven charges.

Travis Francisco was arrested earlier this year following an investigation started by a tip from an assistant wrestling coach.

He has been indicted on charges including sexual contact against a student by a school employee, sexual abuse in the third degree, sexual assault in the third degree, soliciting a minor via computer, and traveling to engage the minor in sexual activity.

A criminal complaint alleges that multiple sex acts occurred between Francisco and the alleged victim in hotels while traveling for wrestling events, within a locker room during a wrestling practice, and at Francisco’s business, Royal Fades Barber Shop in Princeton, while the alleged victim was supposed to be at school.
