Ex-NEO HS football coach Lou Cirino pleads guilty to sex crimes
Cirino, 41, has admitted to charges of gross sexual imposition as West Geauga's head coach in 2010. He faces a prison sentence of up to 18 months.
CHARDON, Ohio Lou Cirino, the former head football coach at West Geauga High School and later Strongsville, has agreed to plead guilty to charges of sexual misconduct with a former student.
According to Geauga County court records, Cirino admitted Wednesday to a single felony count of gross sexual imposition, which was downgraded to sexual battery. A separate charge of gross sexual imposition, which alleged Cirino had sexual contact with a child under the age of 13 between 2004 and 2005, was dropped entirely, as were the specifications labeling Cirino a “sexually violent predator.”
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Cirino, 41, could serve up to 18 months in prison. He must also register as a Level I sex offender for 15 years and cannot be within 1,000 feet of schools and child care facilities.
Prosecutors say Cirino's crimes occurred between December 2009 and December 2010, including his first season as West Geauga's head coach. Chester Township police told 3News they did not become aware of the allegations against Cirino until December 2023, the same month Cirino was relieved of his coaching duties at Strongsville. He was arrested in April this year.
In six years at West Geauga from 2010-16, Cirino led the Wolverines to a 47-27 record before taking the top job at Strongsville. His tenure from 2017-2023 produced a mediocre mark of 31-38, and the school district announced last December 4 that it would be “taking a different direction with the SHS football program.”
There is no evidence that Strongsville administrators were aware of the allegations against Cirino when they fired him as head coach, but just four days later the high school announced that they had placed a staff member on leave “due to allegations of a inappropriate relationship involving a student when the individual was employed by another school district.” The original indictment against Cirino specified that the victim in the case “was enrolled in or attended that school” between 2009 and 2010.
In total, Cirino was employed at West Geauga from 2006 to 2017, where he not only coached football but also taught high school. Chief Inspector Dr. Richard A. Markwardt said at the time of his arrest that the district had “cooperated with law enforcement during the investigation.”
Strongsville City Schools conducted their own investigation and found no evidence that Cirino engaged in similar behavior with community students. Immediately after his arrest, Cirino was still technically employed by the district and placed on unpaid leave, but his name is no longer listed in the school directory. In any case, the terms of his plea deal would prevent him from even being in the building.
Cirino has been out on bail since this spring. A date for his sentencing has not yet been set.
