(WXYZ) - An assistant swim coach at Oxford High School faces felony charges for allegedly sending sexually explicit text messages to two 15-year-old girls on the school's dive team.
Brandon Figurski, 20, from Lake Orion, served as the team’s assistant coach for only a couple weeks during August.
Figurski started working with the swimmers on Aug. 13 and continued in that capacity for about six sessions, according to Nancy Kammer, deputy superintendent for Oxford Community Schools.
When the Oakland County Sheriff ’s Office found out about the text message exchange, a computer crime detective assumed the identity of both girls and took over their cell phones.
Officers say Figurski requested sexually explicit pictures be sent to him and suggested the girls engage in sex acts with him.
When Figurski went to meet one of the girls, he was instead confronted by sheriff ’s deputies and arrested. The arrest took place on Aug. 31.
Figurski faces three felony charges, including child sexually abusive activity, using a computer to commit a crime and communicating with another to commit a crime.
