A jury in Pennsylvania convicted a man who called himself a “life coach” of sexually assaulting a preteen girl, the state attorney general’s office said in a news release<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kyle Slaymaker was convicted of felony indecent assault, unlawful contact with a child, endangering the welfare of a child and misdemeanor indecent assault after a two-day trial, according to the state attorney general’s office. The 39-year-old man, who presented himself online as a “life coach” who offered business advice, will be sentenced in November, the state attorney general’s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to testimony, Slaymaker, on numerous occasions over “a period of years,” spanked a child for sexual satisfaction. Multiple witnesses testified in court that Slaymaker had a “spanking fetish,” according to the state attorney general’s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At least two witnesses testified, according to the state attorney general’s office, that they met the 39-year-old man from Lancaster County online and later learned of his spanking fetish. Police also found pornography on Slaymaker’s phone depicting spanking, according to the state attorney general’s office.<\/p>\n

Slaymaker was a close acquaintance of the child when the crimes happened, authorities said. Slaymaker must register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law, the state attorney general’s office said.<\/p>\n

“We commend the jurors for carefully considering the facts that showed this defendant fulfilled his twisted sexual desires at the expense of a child,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said in the news release.<\/p>\n
