Former Houghton Coach Bound Over On Child Porn Charges

The case continues against a former athletic director and coach at Houghton High School facing child porn charges.

71-year-old Don Sawaski was scheduled to appear in 97th District Court Monday morning.

His attorney filed a motion to waive the hearing so the defendant was bound over to Houghton County Circuit Court.

Sawaski is facing two counts of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material, both 4 year felonies; and one count of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime, a 7 year felony.

He is currently out on a $25,000 bond.

Sawaski is the former athletic director at Houghton High School. He was also a football and track coach and teacher.

He was arrested in Colorado in January as a fugitive from justice.

He is scheduled to appear in circuit court for an arraignment on Monday, May 9th at 8:30am.
