Philadelphia, Pa., Jul 18, 2012 \/ 12:10 am (CNA<\/a>).- A former Lansdale Catholic High School lacrosse coach has been arrested and charged after allegedly making false claims of sexual abuse in anonymous e-mails to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe cost to the men subjected to the false accusations is impossible to measure,\u201d the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said in a July 17 statement, announcing Timothy Udinski's arrest on charges of harassment and stalking.<\/p>\n

\tOn June 21, Udinski told detectives that he sent the archdiocese seven anonymous fabricated reports, targeting officials associated with the Catholic school where he had coached boys' lacrosse. He said he made the false reports he was \u201cfurious\u201d and \u201cmad at the school for the way I was treated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tAccording to the Distict Attorney's office, Udinski himself \u201cwas the target of unfounded accusations\u201d of an unspecified nature. He was dismissed from his coaching duties after a series of heated arguments with players and staff.<\/p>\n

\tAfter his dismissal, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia received an Oct. 19 e-mail stating that Lansdale Catholic's head football coach had sexually propositioned a team member. The message accused the school's principal of failing to take action against the football coach.<\/p>\n

\tIn March 2012, two anonymous messages were sent to the archdiocese claiming that the high school's current lacrosse coach was involved in a case of sexual assault. A further message warned that the media would be informed of this allegation.<\/p>\n

\tLater that month, a series of anonymous e-mails were sent to the archdiocese and local media outlets, containing allegations against the school.<\/p>\n

\tLansdale Catholic's lacrosse coach was accused of luring the underage team members with alcohol. The anonymous e-mails included calls for the principal's resignation and a jail sentence for the lacrosse coach.<\/p>\n

\tUnder questioning by detectives, Udinski said all of the allegations were untrue.<\/p>\n

\tThe admission came after an extensive investigation of the complaints, involving 97 interviews, 10 court orders and search warrants, and at least 184 hours of detective work.<\/p>\n

\tThe archdiocese says it took the accusations seriously, following up with civil authorities after receiving them.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cEach of these allegations, as is our practice, was immediately reported to law enforcement,\u201d the Archdiocese of Philadelphia said in an announcement on Tuesday, thanking District Attorney Risa Ferman along with detectives \u201cwho spent countless hours working on these cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tA preliminary hearing in Udinski's case will be held July 27.<\/p>\n
