The sixth and last Mishawaka High School wrestler accused in the sex-type assault on a then 15-year-old teammate two years ago has been found guilty. Five of the six were found guilty or pleaded guilty of various charges in the case. Because all involved were juveniles at the time, none of their names are being released. Former Mishawaka wrestling coach Darrick Snyder resigned this spring. He was not charged in the case.

The trial for the fifth of six Mishawaka High School wrestlers accused in a sexual assault of a teammate inside the school ended Thursday morning. All six are being tried in juvenile court, so WSBT is not releasing the wrestlers names because they are all being tried in juvenile court. The alleged attack happened two years ago. Four of the six wrestlers charged have either pleaded guilty or been found guilty. The judge said he would issue his ruling in this case early next week.

A Mishawaka High School wrestler was in court Friday and admitted to interfering with the reporting of a crime, the sexual assault of a fellow wrestler. That admission would be the adult equivalent of a misdemeanor. In response to the teen's admission, two other charges against this wrestler were dropped after evidence showed he was not present at the time of the assault. He will be back in court June 4. So far, this brings to four the number of Mishawaka wrestlers who have either pleaded guilty or been found guilty in this case.
