A former staff member in the Fostoria City School district is facing charges for allegedly engaging in inappropriate conduct with female students. The Review-Times reports the school board fired 28-year-old Nelson Cousin during a Tuesday meeting. Authorities have accused Cousin of asking female students to send him sexually explicit pictures. He faces three counts of contributing to the unruliness of a minor, four counts of child endangerment and one count of prohibitions concerning companion animals.

Investigators say Cousin sent nude pictures of himself to three teenage girls. He also allegedly asked them to send pictures back to him. The incidents date back to March of 2016. When Fostoria Police served a search warrant at Cousin’s home on April 4 of this year they found deplorable conditions, including the decaying body of a dead dog in a bedroom.

Cousin had served as an assistant track and cross country coach for the district.
