A former Baldwin County softball coach has been indicted for allegedly having a sexual relationship with an underaged female student in 2020-21.

According to the Baldwin County Sheriff’s office they began investigating Leonard Rizzuto on April 11. Rizzuto, now 60, is alleged to have had a sexual relationship with a 16 year old student while he was the head softball coach at St. Michael Catholic High School during the 2021 season.

“This case has been presented to a Baldwin County Grand Jury, who indicted Leonard Rizzuto, for a school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19 years, leading to his arrest,” BCSO said.

The sheriff’s office said Rizzuto was released from his job in 2021 after the season and no other victims had been identified. BCSO said several of the alleged acts occurred at Rizzuto’s home and a practice facility off campus.

Rizzuto’s bail was set for 15,000 and his conditions for bond are no contact with the alleged victim or her family and no contact with any children under 18.
