Lacrosse Coach Gets Prison Time for Stalking

A Doylestown resident and former Lansdale Catholic High School lacrosse coach who made false accusations that two colleagues molested students is heading to Montgomery County prison for up to 23 months for stalking and harassment.

Timothy Udinski, 44, of the first block of Old Dublin Pike, was sentenced Monday to 30 days to 23 months for stalking, according to The Times Herald. He pleaded no contest to the charges, according to the article. Udinski will serve the prison terms on weekends. He reports to prison to serve his first weekend this Friday.

Udinski faced four counts of misdemeanor stalking that repeatedly caused fear and two counts of misdemeanor harassment by threatening language through anonymous emails, according to court documents.

Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman said Udinski sent seven emails containing false claims of sexual abuse to the Archdiocese between October 19, 2011 and May 31, 2012. 

In these emails, he deliberately and falsely claimed that both the Lansdale Catholic football and lacrosse coaches were engaged in sexual solicitation of players on their respective teams, according to Ferman. 

Udinski is a Central Bucks West graduate and one of the founders of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel CYO lacrosse. He was affiliated with the Select Club lacrosse program in Bucks County.

Udinski was the former head lacrosse coach at Lansdale Catholic High School. He fired from Lansdale Catholic on October 19, 2011. 

Montgomery County Detectives devoted in excess of 184 hours to investigating the accusations against the coaches, according to Ferman in the release. 

At the conclusion of the investigation, detectives and prosecutors concluded that the allegations against both coaches were false and unfounded, according to Ferman. Udinski told police that all the complaints were untrue and he admitted to sending the seven anonymous emails, according to Ferman.
