DAYTON — Kettering Fairmont High School Athletic Director Brian Donoher, accused of soliciting an undercover police officer for sex, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of loitering.
Donoher, 43, son of famed University of Dayton men’s basketball coach Don Donoher, was placed on one year of supervised probation and fined $100. A 60-day jail sentence was suspended.
The loitering charge was a reduction from the original count of soliciting. A second charge of possessing criminal tools was withdrawn, according to court records.
The plea occurred in an empty Dayton Municipal courtroom late Wednesday afternoon. Defense attorneys and prosecutors declined to comment to reporters.
Neither Kettering City Schools Superintendent James Schoenlein nor school board President Julie Gilmore could not be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon.
Donoher, a married father of three, was placed on paid administrative leave shortly after his arrest Feb. 1, then later was put on unpaid family medical leave.
On Feb. 2, the Kettering school board took the first step toward dismissing him, by approving a recommendation to consider the termination of Donoher’s contract “for good and just cause.”
Donoher’s arrest was part of a weeklong Dayton Police Department sting targeting sex customers. After his arrest, according to police reports, Donoher told police he had done this “about 10 different times in the last year.”
Schoenlein said last month that the news that this might not have been an isolated incident was troubling.
Donoher is an Alter High School graduate who played basketball for the Flyers for two seasons and also played a year at Wittenberg. He graduated from UD in 1992.
Before becoming AD at Fairmont in 2008, Donoher spent 12 years as a men’s college basketball assistant coach with Wright State, Wittenberg, Akron, Stetson and Miami University.
