OSU Reprimanded Drum Major Coach Before He Was Charged With Sexual Assault

WCBE Files

An Ohio State University drum major coach accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his home was reprimanded by the school last year for sending an inappropriate text message. A letter of reprimand obtained by The Associated Press says 28-year-old Stewart Kitchen sent the message October 16 during a band event. The letter says Kitchen intended the message for one staff member but sent it to the entire staff. The reprimand says Kitchen demonstrated a lack of sensitivity to topics about which students were in the process of being educated.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
