Colby-Sawyer released the following statement:

“Colby-Sawyer College is aware of the arrest of Mr. Pincoske. Due to the serious nature of the charges filed against him, Mr. Pincoske’s status as a volunteer assistant coach for the men’s basketball program has been rescinded effective immediately. During his time as volunteer and employee at the college, no complaints involving Mr. Pincoske were filed, nor did he exhibit signs that would suggest involvement in the type of behavior that led to his arrest. Colby-Sawyer extends its deepest condolences to the victims of the crimes Mr. Pincoske is accused of committing. The college will provide no further comment on this matter.”

Pincoske, a 1997 Colby-Sawyer alum, had served as an assistant coach at the college since he graduated.
