WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. — (WPXI) – A Washington County man is accused of sexually assaulting six children. One victim claims they were assaulted at least 100 times by Leo McIntyre III. According to our news partners at Channel 11, McIntyre is a former swim instructor at a local swim school. North Strabane police filed charges after six kids came forward, saying McIntyre assaulted them repeatedly over a number of years. Multiple children told police McIntyre was nicknamed “bug a boo”. According to criminal complaints, children as young as 5 years old said McIntyre played “the weenie game,” with details of that game that included sexual assault and child rape. Multiple kids alleged McIntyre told them to keep it a secret. The allegations are shocking to parents with children enrolled in the Goldfish swim school, where McIntyre had been an instructor for five years, from 2017 until this year. Goldfish management tells Channel 11 he was fired in June for not following curriculum and complying to brand standards. Investigators say none of the alleged victims in these cases were students at the school. North Strabane police say this is an active investigation, and if any parents have any questions or concerns to reach out to police. McIntyre is in the Washington County jail, and his bail was denied.
