WARREN COUNTY (AP) -- A southwest Ohio YMCA has fired an assistant swimming coach over an allegation he took "indecent liberties" with a team member.

The Countryside YMCA Torpedoes swim team was competing in a national swim meet in Greensboro, N.C., over the weekend. CEO Mike Carroll of the Lebanon-based YMCA says that 30-year-old Patrick Jeanneret of west Chester Township has been dismissed after his arrest there.

Jeanneret was reportedly one of nine assistant coaches who accompanied the time of about 200 boys and girls to the meet, along with the head coach and chaperones, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

The newspaper reports that Greensboro police said they were restricted from releasing information because the alleged victim is a juvenile.

According to the Enquirer, the girl was reportedly victimized early Saturday but no details of the alleged crime were disclosed. The newspaper reported that Jeanneret was released from jail Saturday after posting $20,000 bond.

The girl is a team member whose parents were both in Greensboro for the meet, the Enquirer reported. Team members stay in a hotel together, separate from any parents who choose to attend, he said.
