Charlotte, NC – Providence Day School Football Coach Arrested for Indecent Liberties with Student
Damon Michael Coiro, a 45-year-old football coach at Providence Day School, has been arrested and charged with felony indecent liberties with a student and misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. The arrest was the result of a police report following an interview with a 17-year-old student on June 26, 2025.
The allegations indicate that Coiro began interacting with the student in late 2023 while he was employed as a coach at Providence Day School. During their communications, he reportedly made sexually motivated comments about the student’s personal relationships, leading to serious concerns regarding his conduct.
In May 2025, Coiro allegedly purchased alcohol for the underage student, which is part of the charges against him. Furthermore, the victim disclosed that in June 2025, Coiro asked her to expose her breasts and gave her a nickname associated with an adult sex worker. Such actions triggered the investigation that culminated in his arrest.
The investigation further revealed that on June 30, 2025, detectives from the sexual assault unit interviewed Coiro, who admitted to some of the accusations. Following these admissions, Coiro was formally charged, and due to the severity of the allegations, he is currently being held on a $75,000 secured bond. Additionally, he has been barred from entering the Providence Day School campus.
Background on Providence Day School and Coiro’s Role
Providence Day School is situated on Sardis Road in south Charlotte and serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Damon Coiro had been with the school since April 2020, serving in multiple roles including assistant head football coach, director of sports performance, and offensive line coach.
Since the incident, Coiro has been removed from the school’s website, indicating that he is no longer associated with the institution. As the community awaits further developments, Providence Day School has not yet issued a formal response to media inquiries regarding the incident and the subsequent actions taken against Coiro.
Upcoming Legal Proceedings
Coiro is set to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon, where formal legal proceedings will commence. The case is being closely followed by local authorities and community members, given its serious nature and the implications for student safety.
The details surrounding the allegations have been corroborated in a police affidavit obtained by local news organizations, highlighting the need for thorough investigations in cases involving inappropriate conduct between educators and students.
