A jury pre-trial for Mark Bonnstetter, Eastern’s associate athletic director for operations, is scheduled for Nov. 19 at the Coles County Courthouse. A jury trial is then scheduled to begin Dec. 4.

Bonnstetter, 38, was charged with two felonies and one misdemeanor following an alleged incident at a neighbor’s home at 2 Woodfield Lane, Charleston, on Nov. 25, Coles County court records show.

He was arrested Nov. 28 on charges of alleged criminal trespass to a residence, a class 4 felony, court records show. On Dec. 11, two additional charges were filed including residential burglary, a class 1 felony and attempted criminal sexual abuse, a class A misdemeanor.

Bonnstetter entered a plea of not guilty and requested a jury trial on Jan. 22.

According to the court records, under the alleged charge of criminal sexual abuse, Bonnstetter is allegedly said to have “placed his hands in the pajama bottoms” of one of the alleged victims.

Bonnstetter was named Eastern’s associate athletic director for operations in June 2006, but has been the head athletic trainer since 2000.

The university declined to comment because it is a personnel issue, said Vicki Woodard with media relations.
