Virginia cheerleading coach sentenced to 25 years in prison for sexually abusing minor

A Worcester County, Maryland, judge sentenced a McLean, Virginia, cheerleading coach to 25 years after he was convicted of sexually abusing a 14-year-old.

Judge Beau H. Oglesby of the Worcester County Circuit Court sentenced Alexander Wu, 32, to 25 years in prison with all but 10 years of the sentence suspended.

Wu was also sentenced to five years of supervised probation and is required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, and have no unsupervised contact with children.

Worcester County State’s Attorney Kristin Heiser said in a press release that the charges stem from a sexual abuse complaint originally reported to Montgomery County, Maryland, authorities.
