Softball Umpire Accused Of Molesting Teen
PLANTATION (CBS4) - A 25-year old Plantation woman who worked for the Cooper City Optimist Club as an 'as needed' umpire for their softball league has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year old player.
The Broward Sheriff's Office said the situation came to light after the teen got in trouble in school and a teacher contacted her parents. As the girl's parents questioned her about their concerns, she reportedly opened up to them about her relationship with 25-year old Brigid Lesovsky.
"This isn't just something that was a consensual relationship. There's no such thing as a consensual relationship with a 14-year-old," said Keyla Concepcion, a spokesperson for the Broward Sheriff's Office.
The parents then contacted the Broward Sheriff's Office to report Lesovsky's actions.
Lesovsky has been contracted on an as-needed basis by the Cooper City Optimist Club as a softball umpire for over a year. That's where she met the girl. The relationship that started out as a friendship turned sexual about a month ago, when the teen claims she was fondled by Lesovsky.
Lesovsky, who is charged with lewd/lascivious molestation and sexual offenses against a child, is being held on $40 thousand bond.
"You can't really trust anybody, obviously, you need to really be on top of who they're spending their time with," said Charmayne Dent, a parent.
BSO Special Victims Unit detectives fear there could be other victims of Lesovsky out there. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Lynne Philbrick at
(954) 321-4246 or Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
