(BOYNTON BEACH, FL) – A Palm Beach County high school volunteer cheerleading coach has plead guilty to felony charges involving a 14-year-old girl.
According to police, Kassidy Sottilare, 27, is accused of sending explicit text messages to a student. The teen said Sottilare sent her a friend request on Instagram and messaged her saying she wanted to “spoil and [EXPLETIVE] with her,” the arrest report stated.
The student and her mother then went to Boynton Beach police headquarters to report the incident.
Sottilare was arrested in February 2022.
