Lawsuit: Former Mt. Lebanon Coach Engaged In "Unwanted Contact"

MOUNT LEBANON (KDKA) -- The parents of four students at Mount Lebanon High School have filed a lawsuit over their former coach.

Four members of Girls' Volleyball team claim Brian Begor engaged in "unwanted contact" with them.

The lawsuit also says the district knew Begor had previously been banned from school property for incidents dating back to 1995.

In a statement Monday, the district said Begor's clearances showed no violations of any kind when he was hired last year.

"This individual's clearances showed no violations of any kind. He was coaching at another area school district prior to coming to Mt. Lebanon, and his performance there was reviewed with appropriate administrators at that district prior to the Mt. Lebanon position being offered to him for the 2015 season."

The district said it received complaints about him at the end of the 2015 season and notified authorities.

"The coach was suspended by the District on November 6, 2015, after a preliminary investigation. During the investigation, the coach was directed by the high school administration to have no contact with members of the program. The coach tendered his resignation on November 10, 2015."

No criminal charges were filed against him.
