Andrew Olnhausen, a 39-year-old former youth soccer coach from Texas, was sentenced in Lenawee County to serve between 22 years and two months to 60 years in prison after being convicted on several felony charges related to criminal sexual conduct. The sentencing was handed down by Judge Michael Olsaver of the 39th Circuit Court.

Olnhausen was found guilty by a jury in July 2025 of four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes, five counts of possession of child sexually abusive material, one count each of using a computer to commit a crime and distributing sexual material to a minor, and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel commented on the outcome: “Survivors of sexual assault deserve to see their abusers brought to justice, no matter how long it takes. Cases like this are never easy, and they require extraordinary strength from victims. I am grateful to the courageous survivor who came forward, and I commend the prosecutors in my office and the Adrian Police Department for their efforts to secure this significant sentence. We remain committed to standing with sexual assault victims and holding abusers accountable.”

Olnhausen previously worked as a youth soccer coach with Fellowship of Christian Athletes. According to court records, he began an abusive relationship with a player in 2016 when she was 12 years old; the abuse continued until she was about 16.

The investigation that led to these charges was conducted by the Adrian Police Department. Olnhausen was extradited from Texas back to Michigan in 2022.

As part of his sentence, Olnhausen will be required to register as a sex offender for life and will be subject to lifetime electronic monitoring.
