A sixth-grade Ambridge girls’ basketball coach is accused of raping teenage girls. 50-year-old Ralph Ruprecht of Freedom, a husband and father of three girls, was grabbed by police Friday, accused of committing deviant sexual acts with teenage girls in an apartment in a Strip District building. Police say he groomed eight to ten girls and lured them to the Strip District apartment for sex, where they were allegedly raped and sexually assaulted by as many as eight men. This reportedly went on “for years”. Ruprecht is facing 16 counts, including rape. He was arraigned on the charges Saturday morning and was taken to the Allegheny County Jail after failing to post $200,000 bond.
