Former Princeton wrestling coach and bus driver faces additional sexual abuse charges

Princeton, WV (WOAY)- A former Mercer County School employee accused of sexual misconduct with a student has been arrested a second time on additional charges.

We previously reported that 39-year-old Travis Francisco of Princeton faced seven charges of sexual intercourse, sexual intrusion, or sexual contact against a student by a school employee. 

He appeared before the magistrate court in February, where a judge adjusted his bond to a 10% cash bond.

According to court documents, additional charges include four additional counts of sexual intercourse, sexual intrusion, or sexual contact against students by school employees, three counts of third-degree sexual abuse, and one count of third-degree sexual abuse of a victim who is less than 16 years old and at least four years younger. 

Francisco was the head wrestling coach and bus driver at Princeton High School.  

He also owns the Royal Fades Barber Shop in Princeton. 

Francisco awaits further court proceedings in Southern Regional Jail on a $75,000 bond.
