GAGETOWN — This small community is in shock after a former Owendale-Gagetown High School coach and alumni was charged in a criminal sexual conduct case.

Cory D. Fritz, 26, of Sebewaing faces 20 counts of third degree criminal sexual conduct. He was arraigned on the charges Wednesday morning.

From October 2005-March 2006, Fritz allegedly had sex multiple times with a 14-year-old female, according to authorities.

The victim was a tenth grade student at Owendale-Gagetown High School during the period of time when the crimes were committed. Fritz, a 2001 Owen-Gage graduate, was a former varsity softball coach at the school.

Fritz is currently lodged in the Tuscola County Jail, awaiting a pre-preliminary examination, which is set for Monday at 1 p.m. Fritz also faces a preliminary exam July 6 at 1:30 p.m.

Bond has been set at $100,000 cash/surety. If Fritz does post bond, he is not permitted to enter the village of Gagetown or Elmwood Township, where the victim resides.

Tuscola County Prosecutor Mark Reene said there are additional circumstances related to this case and a continuing investigation that would preclude Fritz from entering the area.

Third degree criminal sexual conduct is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

Anyone with additional information regarding this case is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Mark Krebs at either (989) 673-2156 or (989) 269-6441. Krebs, Detective Sgt. Brian Ferguson and Detective Trooper Robert Dunham, all of the Michigan State Police, are the lead investigators on this case.

    When I open this page and seen Cory face being charged for the crime. My first words were "OH MY GOD". I knew Cory I never thought of him to do this, but if he did do it. Then he should pay the price for it. What I don't understand is this happened a couple of years ago and what took them so long to have brought these charges up? Did the girl's parent's get mad at him and turn him in? Was Cory and this girl dating at the time? I know a situation where the parent's were okay with them dating especially the age difference and then got mad at the guy and then turn him in. Just wondering if this was the case.

    Seriously!! Everybody in town knew of this relationship - AND that the "VICTIMS" mother condoned it. Most of these occurences were at the "victims" house. This girl was no victim - she set her sights on this boy and went after him with everything in her arsenal. She was also drinking and partying right along with dear old mom. I'm sure none of that will be reported on though - it's not quite as shocking as reading of a coach that took advantage of a player.

    If this is who I'm thinking of, the father was totally against this. I believe he and the daughter had a falling out for awhile over this. When he tried to put a stop to it through the authorities, I was told they wouldn't do anything. Perhaps the Mother should have listened to what the Dad had to say.

    Come on people, you can't honestly defend him for this. He was 23 years old and she was 15...whether the parents condoned it or not, as a fully functional adult he should have had absolutely no interest in a child, and the fact that there is still an "on going" investigation tells me that they have just begun to scratch the surface of what else happened.

    thumbres is correct. everyone and their mother in the town knew about this, and yes, even the "victim's" mother. i don't know how someone can be considered a victim when she was consenting. i am not condoning what cory did because it is not right what he did to this young girl, but it was consensual sex. i don't think he should have had interest in this girl, but as a 14-year-old she should have known better too. and the family of the girl should have stepped in instead of saying that it's alright and allowing it to happen in the girl's home.

    i think the parents should have stepped in right from the start if they did't like the fact of corey being with their daught! it was a few years ago i know 14 year old girls i was one she liked the fact corey was in to her. yea he was older (23) yes he should have knew it was wrong but by the sounds of things the mom was okay yea corey messed up but everyone makes mastakes that was in 2005-2006 its 2009 why now? why not then? and yea he needs to pay the price but i dont think up to 15 years thats to much not if she wanted it to and the parents let them in there own home

    Like everyone said the whole town knew and we all did nothing including myself, which i was ashamed of then and still am now. Why did everyone leave this up to the parents if they felt that it was wrong. Corey knew it was wrong. Any 23 year male would know walking in a girls room with spongebob squarepants decor and bed set that it was wrong. I feel bad that in 2005 I didn't report Corey. But Corey deserves everything he gets.

    I agree he deserves what he gets, they alledgedly had a kid together in 2006 (read the "Authorities searching for infant remains" news headline on here.) Instead of focusing on how it was so long ago, people should be trying to figure out what happened to this baby if in fact these allegations turn out to be true.

    Here we go again. Trying to attack without a brain. No one has said anything about hard working, honest, policemen. I would desperately hope, though I see an inordinate amount of overzealous and down right illegal police work, that this doesn't mean their all crooks. How scary would that be. Accountability is all that is asked. Ceasing violent and deadly war on American soil, by Americans, against Americans should shock and dismay every citizen. This can't be the answer. Collateral injuries and deaths can't be the answer. Not in the America my forefathers taught me to love and respect. My father was a WWII veteran twice wounded in Africa and Italy, conservative to the bone, he never understood war in America against Americans.

    Police killing innocent people is never a joke, yet it happens too often, and for what?

    Next time try posting on a relevant forum cause this ain't it!

    My heart goes out to those impacted by such sad news.

    Well, I am unsure how anyone can say that Cory is not guilty of this. It doesn't matter who condoned it!!! WHAT IS RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG IS WRONG........HE WAS CLEARLY IN THE WRONG!!!!!!!!! Besides that, I know plenty about this kid and he is not innocent at all!!!! He has been in jail several times before and even had his license taken away, not to mention breaking into and stealing from his own relatives!!!!! However, that was all swept under the rug....I guess if you are unaware of all of the circumstances prior to this sad case and Cory's true character, you should not continue to post in his defense!!!!!!! This is not one mistake that he has made, it is one of MANY!!! How many chances does he get to ruin his or someone else's life before he pays the consequences?

And then visit the fact that you all state that you "knew" this was going on and yet you didn't report it!?!?!?! When has it ever been OK to let a minor go with an adult? I can't believe you want to bash Crey and this young girl (at the time) yet you sat back and did nothing, JUST AS BAD AS THE PARENTS!!! They should be held accountable too for child abuse.

    judgment (Anonymous) says...

    I sat here and read through these posts… There is no doubt about it-if Cory did the crime then he’s needs to be punished because what was done was wrong. It’s a horrible situation-one that shouldn’t have happened, but it did.
    I can’t help but wonder where those of you who posted your righteous comments get off passing such judgment onto Cory! There are those of you who openly admit to the whole town of Gagetown knowing about this situation…Cory and the ‘victim,’ as well as her mother condoning it, which means that all of you knew this was happening as well. So I ask the question…Doesn’t this make you responsible for the continued activities? Those of you who knew about it and did nothing have no right to enter this website and pass judgment on Cory for his actions when your actions were also in the wrong. There’s talk about right and wrong, but all I see is all the wrong things that were done in this situation not only by Cory, the ‘victim,’ her mother, but also all those individuals who stood by knowing or even thinking something was going on and did nothing. Those of you who stood by and did nothing, turned the other check, condoned it or not-whatever the case may be, need to get down off your high hypocritical pedestals and take a look around-maybe point the finger in your own direction. When this situation was allegedly happening you did nothing about it, you were basically saying it was okay. Now, that the table has turned and Cory is being charged for these crimes-you all are ready to stand up and say punish him…he’s guilty. When the mother wouldn’t protect her own child, where were all of you to step up and protect the child? If you have a child or children wouldn’t you want someone to help protect them if you couldn’t or were too oblivious to protect them?? Again-how could all of you knowingly let this happen? What is wrong with all of you? This is a great example of what is wrong with this world!
    Need I remind you that we all make mistakes, some more serious/severe than others, but mistakes none the less-no one is perfect.
    I believe the saying goes ‘innocent until proven guilty’ and there is only one individual who ‘judges the living and the dead.’
    Cory’s family and friends are dealing with this situation the best they know how and it wouldn’t be too much to ask that all the bashing stop. Think about how all of you would feel if this was your sibling, father, mother, etc….the world can be a cruel place (as mentioned above when all of you knowingly allowed the endangerment of the life of a minor—all of you and the parents who knew should also be on trial)…have some respect for yourselves and all involved!

    HE WAS WARNED, I know several people, myself included that told Cory, the girl and the mom to watch out and be careful. Now I cant speak for everyone, but I was told that they were just friends, by him and her. What I thought was irrelevant at that point because you cant tell the police "Everyone thinks they are sleeping together, maybe you should go over there and see if you can get them to admit it" Do you honestly think any one of them would have admitted it at the time? That would be ridiculous, they were ok with the situation UNTIL something terrible happened. That doesnt mean everyone turned a deaf ear, you can put someone in an empty padded cell, but if they want to ruin their life, they will ALWAYS find a way.

    Okay Thank you Judgement for pointing out that he is innocent until proven guilty. Everyone needs to realize that. What they put in the paper is not all facts either ever notice how there a whole lot of allegedly's?? Yes Cory has screwed up alot I understand that and I know that as facts. Cory is still OUR FAMILY and family is supposed to stand by each other no matter what right? I feel that if everyone in the town knew about it then he shouldnt be charged with the csc. Im not saying it is okay to have sex with children because that is not the case in anyway. But if everyone condoned it and nothing was done about it then why is the csc charges an issue now. On the case of the baby in our families defense we knew nothing about a baby. But by all means if there is a baby and something was done to that baby then the girl he was having sex with should have her picture plastered all over the newspapers and the news too until the police figure out what happened to this alleged baby. How is this fair to cory if she gave birth to a baby and it just magically disappeared SHE needs to be held accountable too. I do not know the 100% true story as no one does but I still believe in giving him the benefit of the doubt. Hoping and praying that he had nothing to do with the whole baby issue that is going on. I mean honestly how can someone I grew up with do something so wrong. Cory was not a bad person and Im hoping he still is not. But we still stand by him as our FAMILY. He is a son, a brother, a uncle, and a cousin. Think of how you would feel if this was someone in your family. If this was a big city it would be oh what a shame and everyone would move on but its not its huron and tuscola counties where all everyone talks about is everyone else. I cannot pass judgement on him I have to support him. I hope and pray that it all works out that Cory had nothing to do with it. But ya wanna know whats really sad even if he is found that he had nothing to do with it his reputation is beyond smashed now........

    It is pretty sad that all of this is getting plastered all over the news. In a small town you might as well be sentenced already. In small town everybody talks and everybodies talk DOES influence the law enforcement and Judges. What other town can you go in front of court system knowing the Judge that is sentencing you has a teather on his ankle for the same thing. Why does he still have a job?????!!!!! Any way point is people talk and DUMB people listen. What a way for her to get attention hope she is truly happy she ruined someone's life but just remember "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND"

    Cory is NOT a bad person. I know for a fact he loved the "victim." He even gave her a promise ring, and wanted to marry her. I think when you love someone, age doesn't matter. Apparently though, he changed his mind about her, and the two split. That's the reason the people I know weren't a fan of him. Not being with a young girl, but for hurting her. HE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS!! The "victim" (who is not a "victim" at all,) was as much in the wrong as he was. And yes, in a small town, everyone knew it was happening, and you can talk and talk until your blue in the face and these two would NOT have stopped what they were doing, they were in love. Nothing anyone could have said could have stopped it. The real thing that people need to be worrying and talking about is if there was a baby, where is it? That's the real victim. Stop bashing Cory when most of you have absolutley no idea what even went on. I know first hand what happened, and he's not a bad guy. So don't point the finger unless your own hands are clean.

    To those of you so willing to hang Cory for allegedly commiting these offenses, I have a few questions. Does the justice system allow for innocent until proven guilty. Do your personal thoughts and feelings supersede the law? It is a shame is this small town, uneducated people can influence judgment and ruin someones life. If there is a baby, why isn't the mother (who is no longer a minor) having her name and face plastered all over? Why isn't her reputation being torn to shreds? Why didn't anyone who "knew" of the situation step in if it was so wrong? That makes you just as guilty as Cory, if it is true. If Cory is innocent, his life will never be the same again. His name will be ruined and he will be judged by close-minded people who didn't care to hear the whole story. After all, it is easier to look at someone and judge what they did right? Those who feel Cory should be castrated or jailed or whatever should make sure you are above reproach before casting stones at him. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

    Living in a small town does not make us any less educated than people who live in a city! Actually I'd compare small-town school test scores to inner city any time. So please when making your comments leave out the small town = uneducated remarks. I don't care where you are there are going to be people with strong opinions one way or another regarding an issue like this. The main individuals in this case are both well known thruout our community so of course there are going to be many people who know them making comments. Like many have said the real crime is the missing baby - and I'm wondering why we haven't seen any more search teams looking.

    Let me clarify what I mean by uneducated. I mean socially inept. I do not mean that they haven't read as many books or scored as high on any tests. I graduated from a small school in the area, and I still live in a small town nearby. I also know both parties involved. Everyone has a right to an opinion, but does not have the right to bash one person based on their own biased opinion. I agree that the real issue is whether or not there is a baby, where it is if there is one and who is responsible for it's whereabouts. It takes two to make a baby, one to carry it. If there is/was a baby, the real issue needs to be where is it and who is responsible for putting it in that place. To find out if she was pregnant should be relatively easy. Her school records should indicate any absences, and medical records may indicate pregnancy if she did go to the doctor. If this were about a murdered baby, don't you think the emphasis should be on finding that child, instead of speculating on whether he may or may not be guilty and whether she was or wasn't consenting to the crime?

    To coreyfritzrotinjail, You say everyone knew and those of us who didn't have no right to comment?!?! You obviously dont get what has happened here. I have children that I have raised to be young adults to understand the law, and to be accountable, I HAVE to beaware of the evil around our town and homes. People have spoken about being a family here and sticking together, If someone in my family was sleeping with a minor you bet your sweet *** I would be turning them in. Threats mean NOTHING to someone who likes under-age children, where it is Cory or anyone. I am wondering who your town and school might be "protecting" now. It makes me sick to see parents turn the other check as not to offen anyone or not to make someone mad at you, what do you think you are showing your children, or those around you? Those placed in the authority of children should take that position very seriously. Would you like to be the person they blame later in life for not helping them. Sometimes TOUGH LOVE is the only answer. Get your heads out of the sand and get some back bone and say NO to the things that are not right, against the law. Any creditable counselor would tell you that a 14 yaer old doesn't have the abilty to reason and make good choices, they don't understand the consequences. That is why you hopefully have good, law-abidding, GOD fearing adults to nuture them to be great adults. One day we will all be accountable for the things we did and the things we did NOT do. If Cory is found guilty then he should pay, If not then he will walk. Who will then be the next little girl? Everyone better wake up and guard your kids!! It is obvious by "coreyfritzrotinjail" that everyone knew, maybe this is not the first, probably will not be the last.

    It's funny as you read through the comments that are posted here, they all seem to come to the conclusion that Cory didn't do anything and that her mother knew and said that it was ok and the whole town knew it to so, they should just slap him on the wrist and send Cory home to think about what he did. The bottom line is this: SHE WAS 14-HE WAS 26!! If he lacks the common sense to know that sleeping with a 14 year old is wrong, then he truly is sick. You also have to remember that he was a coach at the school where she attended school. And now the allegations of a baby comming of this, and is now missing, that can change the whole course of this investigation. Sad, truly sad. I wouldn't spend much time feeling sorry for him, just another sad, sad statistic.

    I also wonder why the "victims" identity is being hidden. She isn't a minor anymore. It wasn't like Cory held her down and forced her into having sex with him, she was more than willing. If there is a baby involved she is just as guilty as Cory and deserves her repuations slaughtered as well. Everyone at Owen-Gage and surrounding communities speculated she was pregnant. You don't just get THAT big for no reason, and then suddenly get skinny again. No one said anything because she and the family denied anything was going on. I just don't think anyone knew it would turn into this.
    And I think it's pretty weird, that her ex-boyfriend is in jail, his life being ruined and her being talked about and them looking for this baby, and she's and dear old mom are still throwing parties and going to the beach like nothing is happening. Pretty shady. If you ask me, yes, what Cory did was wrong, but this girl is in the wrong too now. I love her and the family to death, but none of this should be happening right now. They are handeling it very poorly.

    OG32 i have to agree with you about how her family is handling this from what i have heard from others they act like nothing is wrong. And there are some people on here that say she loved him so much or who knows maybe she still does care about him to some point, who knows. But the truth is if she loved him dont you think she would try to help him now instead of trying to deny everthing that happened. I also have a very good idea who the source is from Washington, but my question is if this person was there when this all went down, why is it coming out now. I wonder if this Washington source was threatened if they were to say anything about what happened. I dont know but i am curious about the Washington source.

    I believe I know who the Washington source is as well, and I can't understand why she would know. The "victim" and her wern't even that great of friends, but maybe I know a lot less than I think I do. I think that if there was a baby, she got rid of it to protect Cory, because if she didn't he would have been in jail 3 years ago. Everything she did was to protect Cory. I don't know why she's acting now like nothing is happening. This isn't like her at all, I can't even believe that she would do anything like this, but maybe she's been lying the whole time about who she really is. I don't know why this Washington source would just talk now. Maybe now that she's away from Gagetown, she could, maybe her councious got the best of her, who knows. I hope it will all come out and the people who need to be punished will and that this baby, if there is one, will finally have a voice.

    If you commited a crime you should do the time and with this going on between a coach and a minor makes me sick,the mother should be thrown in jail along with this sick sick man because she knew about it and did nothing and this girls father tried to stop it, but the mother refused to listen,many people had told this man to stay away from the girl but he didn't and no-one did nothing were is the protection from family and friends has that all disappeared??There is no reason for a grown man to put his hand's on an underage girl....What is this world coming to..

    One thing to think about here is the baby, and the fact that it has been three years? or longer? Unless the baby was beaten to death, or mangled, when and IF, and that's a big IF, they ever do find the body of the baby. They are going to have a hell of a time trying to prove that the baby was alive at the time of birth. Unless there is obvious damage of the bone structure, whomever discarded the body will probably get off with a slap on the wrist. There is just no way to determine cause of death on a pile of bones, unless there is obvious damage... all that will be left will be bones. Unless it's in someone freezer, no corenor in the world will be able to determine COD. As far as the CSC goes, maybe they are just pushing that because they have nothing else at this point. IMHO, that's just BS, he didn't force this girl to have sex twenty some times... And from what is coming out, parents were well aware of what was going on and did nothing. Guess we'll have to wait and see what comes of this mess.

    I just want to let you all know that the Washington Source that you all seem to possibly know, is NOT the one that started all of this! Call your local police station to verify this but it was a "Deford" source that told a co-worker who then went to the police about all of this! Don't make this into a complete cop-out by blaming it on the washington source just because it's the easiest way to go because they are not here to defend themselves.

    To all of you that sit here and claim that you knew this was all taking place, then you all know who the girl is. That being said all of you that claim her name should be thrown out into the public eye, than why haven't any of you done it? Personally, I feel that everyone needs to stop trying to cause more trouble and let things unfold as they come about.

    I'm sorry but if a adult has sex with a minor regarding their age 14,15 ext. They know the law and what he did is wrong a should face up to it. I would hope that he has learned his lesson but if not then he will pay again. I was 14 once and thought I knew what love was but really a young person don't they think they know but it is really puppy love. cf always liked hanging with the younger crowd, like having some of his jv. boys basketball team down to his rented house in saginaw to party come on he knew it was wrong but still did it so be careful defending him to quick

    FAMILYBREAKDOWN- I can not believe that you can sleep at night saying the things that you are. Corey is not being held accountable to any charges that relate to a baby at this time, so why should the 'victim' be held accountable for it right now? The reason why his face and name are plastered all over the web and the newspapers is because he is a pedophile. He was a grown man that was sleeping with a young girl. I don't care if people say she wanted it or not, because the law is written to say she was too young to make that decision- that is why his name and face are everywhere. That is why his reputation is ruined, not because of anything to do with a baby at this point.

    Other people are saying how dare her being out having a fun time while he is rotting in jail, doesn't she feel bad for him? NO WAY! What has he been doing for the last three years? Out having a great time, knowing everything that he did. Just because he is in jail doesn't mean that she can't move on with her life. He is the one that committed a crime, he is the one that should no longer have a life- not her.

    I feel that if this does become true, then she should be in some sort of trouble because if she isnt all that is doing is opening a can or worms to all teenage girls that get into the same situtation thinking they can do that also. I pray it isnt becasue I know both families and wish this whole ordeal would of never happened but it did and like I said before I not here to say who did what until I hear the facts. yes CF did commit csc and should pay the price that is the fact, but the other thing will come out sooner or later we just all need wait to hear what happens.
