The Walworth County District Attorney, Dan Necci, has sent former UW-Whitewater wrestling coach Tim Fader a letter completely clearing Fader of criminal wrongdoing of any kind, in his wrestling program or any other matter.
See, Former UW-Whitewater wrestling coach cleared of wrongdoing by DA @ Channel 3000 WISC-TV.
Here’s the text of that letter:
November 6, 2014
Dear Sir or Madame:
Please be advised that, as of the date of this letter, my office has not now nor ever before been in possession of any referral or other form of documentation from any law enforcement agency which contains any allegations or accusations of criminal wrongdoing of any kind against or involving a Timothy Fader.
Furthermore, I am not aware of any criminal investigation into or concerning the actions of Timothy Fader.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Very Truly Yours,
Daniel A. Necci
District AttorneyDAN/cjg
See, link to the letter from Walworth County District Attorney to Tim Fader.
Readers may recall that UW-Whitewater wrestling Coach Tim Fader, who had one of the finest wrestling programs in America, was fired (his contact not being renewed) from UW-Whitewater about six months ago.
Coach Fader contends that he was dismissed for reporting an alleged sexual assault to the police rather than university authorities.
When Fader was first suspended, local accounts of the suspension sloppily (and falsely) made it seem that Fader, himself, might have been somehow criminally implicated.
Any suggestion of that kind was careless and wrong.
Fader reports that
the letter from Necci came after News 3 first reported in September on how the reigning conference coach of the year had lost his job.
“It goes along with what I have said this entire time,” Fader said. “Out of (the) story, I received a letter from the district attorney completely clearing my name with any illegal or criminal investigation.”
Channel 3000 also reports that
Whitewater Police meanwhile are continuing the investigation into the alleged sexual assault. Capt. Brian Uhl said the case remains open as the Walworth County DA’s office is waiting for results from the state crime lab before a final charging decision may be made.
